Depending on how your data looks I would highly recommend a pivot table. Once
you get the hang of them they are fast, easy and very powerful at pulling together a lot of data into useful information in a really big hurry. -- HTH...

group data
the big issue is that i'm generating the excel spreadsheet on the fly using
C#, and i'm passing all the data in to the spreadsheet which works, but now i have to group the as I listed before and I'm not sure how to do that or if it can even be done "Jim Thomlinson" wrote in message ...

group data
Hi
A bad idea! It'll be very difficcult to refer to such table, when you want to do some calculations. My advice is to use the table design Date, Car, Quantity, Client, Price With such design (practically you'll have a little database), when you swith autofilter on, you can easily get sold cars by type or by date or by client. Having some additional rows in top of table, and SUBTOTAL functions on some cells there, yo can have quantity and/or value of filtered cars displayed. Additionally you can have some columns, where some generalized values, like month of sell date in format "yyyy.mm", are calculated by formulas - it allows you to filter out p.e. all BMW's sold in march 2005, and of course you'll get the number of sold cars and their value too. Etc. -- Arvi Laanemets ( My real mail address: arvil<attarkon.ee ) "microsoft.news.com" <CSharpCoder wrote in message ...

group data
I'm doing one calculation and i'm doing that in the code and passing the
value into excel. so there is really no way to do this when populating an excel doc on the fly like this? could i create a template and do it that way or is this totally not possible with the way i'm creating the spreadsheet?
