Please allow me to apologize for my poor suggested solution here. I didn't
read your post thoroughly enough before responding. A pivot table would not
work for you here even if you rearranged the data.

Please allow me to ask something, though. Excel doesn't like that date
format and some of your data has leading zeros. Are you in a position to
massage that data a little bit to make the dates more Excel-friendly and
lose the leading zeros, or do you have to have a solution that cleans up the
data and also gives you the results you want?

I would start with a pivot table on the data before I write any code. That
should yield the info you are looking for.

Hi All

Can someone please help me put a solution in place for this problem.

We have two lists of data which we need to match.

We loan out phones to our business users who use them for fixed number of
days and then return them to us. This data is stored in one worksheet as

Mobile Number Date From Date To User Prod Number
07855422282 12/03/2003 13/03/2003 Kiersty Smith 33089320
07855422282 23/04/2003 27/04/2003 Kiri Belcher 33097720
07855422282 19/06/2003 20/06/2003 Tim Day 10130610
07855412282 01/07/2003 05/07/2003 Jackie O'Shea 33453410
07855412282 07/08/2003 09/08/2003 Rhodi Evans 334616 ETW
07855412282 14/01/2003 16/01/2003 Andrew Orr 901101103


Once the users have used the phones we get a bill from our phone company
data in which looks like

Phone No Date Total Cost
07855422282 12/3/03 1.54
07855422282 13/3/03 1.20
07855422282 23/4/03 0.58
07855422282 24/4/03 1.45
07855422282 25/4/03 0.00
07855422282 26/4/03 0.96
07855422282 27/4/03 1.99
07855412282 07/8/03 1.54
07855412282 08/8/03 2.58
07855412282 09/8/03 0.58
07855412282 14/1/03 1.29
07855412282 15/1/03 2.66

What I need to do is to find out what was the total cost of calls for a
particular user for the time he has had the phone. I am sure this can be
done through VBA but not sure how to start.

Then results should look something like
Mobile Number Date From Date To User Total Cost
07855422282 12/03/2003 13/03/2003 Kiersty Smith £2.74
07855422282 23/04/2003 27/04/2003 Kiri Belcher
07855422282 19/06/2003 20/06/2003 Tim Day
07855412282 01/07/2003 05/07/2003 Jackie O'Shea
07855412282 07/08/2003 09/08/2003 Rhodi Evans
07855412282 14/01/2003 16/01/2003 Andrew Orr



Can you offer some help please.
