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. hth "Phil" wrote: I am doing a simple cost comparison.
