summing numbers
I have rows of data which start in column b with employee numbers, first and
last names, job title etc. Under each row in column C, I have dates of attendance events and in column E I have a value for each attendance event. Column B is blank in this list. First I would like to programmitally sort the date and values ascending so that the latest event is at the bottom of the list. Then I would like to sum these values in column m of the information row. They text above and below the date and value columns are the information rows I would like to do this each employee on the sheet. Thank you in advance. db |

summing numbers
There are two easy ways to do this. One is using a pivot table (which would
probably be my favorite option. The other is using subtotals. Both options can be found on the Data menu. If column B is blank I would be inclined to delete it. Excel makes best guesses for you when sorting, or doing subtotals orcreating pivot tables. With a blank column it will probably select the incorrect range for you. Pivot Table option. Place the Cusor somwhere in your data. Select Data - Pivot Table. Follow the instructions on the wizard. It will create a new sheet for you if you just follow the defaults. Drag the items off of the tool bar onto the table and you should be able to get what you want. The second option is to create subtotals. You will need to sort your data first. Sort it by employee. Select Data - Subtotals and use the wizard to create the subtotals...
