Need macro to analyse a column
I have a spreadsheet with a very long column containing many differen things that have been purchased in the past. I need to discover how many different things have been purchased an list them and find out how much has been spent on each of thos things. So I need a method (a macro I suppose) of going down that column an finding the first entry that hasn't already been dealt with - sa 'screwdriver 6inch' and then continue down the column, find ever instance and take the cost (and date) and write it to some other par of the spreadsheet. When we finish I'll have columns for every different article. I ca look at what they are, know how many there are and see the tota expenditures. I imagine this is the gist of what spreadsheets are for yet I can' figure out how to do it automatically, not for reading all the hel screens I can't. Perhaps it is too easy and there's couple of clicks will do it? Please help if you know. regards, ab. : -- abrogar ----------------------------------------------------------------------- abrogard's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2423 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=37847 |

Simply select both the columns, i.e. item list and the cost list, go to Data Pivot tables, and follow directions.

Need macro to analyse a column
Here is a code. It assumes that the original data has a header
Const target As String = "M1" Dim iLastrow As Long Dim iLastrow1 As Long iLastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row With Range("A1:A" & iLastrow) .AdvancedFilter _ Action:=xlFilterCopy, _ CopyToRange:=Range(target), _ Unique:=True End With iLastrow1 = Cells(Rows.Count, Range(target).Column).End(xlUp).Row With Range(target) .Offset(0, 1).Value = "Count" .Offset(0, 2).Value = "Value" With .Offset(1, 1) .Formula = "=COUNTIF(A:A," & .Offset(0, -1).Address(False) & ")" .Offset(0, 1).Formula = "=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A" & iLastrow & "=" & _ .Offset(0, -1).Address(False) & " ),B1:B" & iLastrow & ")" .Resize(1, 2).AutoFill .Resize(iLastrow1 - 1, 2) End With End With -- HTH Bob Phillips "abrogard" wrote in message ...
