The only thing unique across all sheets is the school code.

The 'Maintenance Data' sheet is very detailed & accurate with all works broken down into locations/element/sub-element/revised descriptions etc - I know because I compiled it myself from condition surveys carried out in 2008.

The 'PM Orders' sheets have just been pulled from reports off a system with very open input methods so not broken down at all and just a mass of info in a cell.

Would it be possible to see some example data?
If you're not happy posting it here you can send me a PM and I'll give you an email address you could send it to...
