Formula
 

I have a sheet that is used to post daily mileage and expenses for an
employee. He works for a property management company, so he's traveling
during the day from one property to the next, and each property has a
two-digit code assigned to it. Easy enough to sum things up on the daily
log; however, then I want to create a second consolidated sheet showing the
totals for each one of those locations he travels to during the month. So,
for example, I have the following columns in the sheet:

Date
Description of Travel or Expense
Property
Miles
Other Expenses
Code

Some codes are CC, HF, GT, etc.

So, on the consolidated sheet, I want to sum up all the entries having CC,
GT, and so on, each on it's own respective row, showing property, mileage,
and expenses. In the cell on the consolidated sheet for each of those rows,
what formula would I use to capture them?

Hope I explained myself good enough.....thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Bob

An ideal problem for a Pivot Table.
