Sorting information into lists
 

I am doing a simple cost comparison. I basically have a list of 200
different products with different prices from 4 different sources. I have
set up this worksheet so it shows the cheapest source for each product as you
plug in the prices. My question is, can I set this up so it sends the source
and product to a seperate list, so it is all corresponding?
Ex. What I have now...
A1- Apples B1- United
A2- Oranges B2- United
A3- Banana B3- Mart
A4- Kiwi B4- Mart

What I want...
A5- United
A6- Apples
A7- Oranges
A8- Mart
A9- Banana
A10- Kiwi

So, essentially it will be just organizing this information into seperate
categories. I don't know if there is a function that can take care of this
or not.

You could use ( or misuse :-) )a pivot tabel but this requires a header row.

First drop the Supplier in the row field area and then the product behind it
in the row area. It will give you something similar to what you want. Then
muddle around with the layout and format to get what you want.
