Classifying Data
Suppose I have a database which has a primary field titled "Item". Different
items can appear multiple times in my database, with different associated fields such as price, qty, etc. I know how to use the SUMIF command to get the data totaled that I need for a particular item, but is there a way I can get Excel to give me, say, the total qty for every item in my database, in a separate listing? Thanking you in advance, Mad Dog |
You could use a pivot table to summarize the data. There are
instructions in Excel's Help, and Jon Peltier has instructions and links: http://www.peltiertech.com/Excel/Pivots/pivotstart.htm When you create the pivot table, put Item in the Row area, and Quantity in the Data area, where it will become Sum of Quantity.
