Need help consolidating my BOM

First off the spreadsheet contains 4 columns with headers Named:

Cell / Heading / Variables

D1 = "Material" (CRS, SS, ALUM, GALV)
E1 = "Thickness" (#)
G1 thru I1 = "Sheet Size" (Sheet size = width x length)
J1 = "# of sheet required" (#)

I want to be able to consolidate all of my various materials types into one
group then that group will be consolidated into various thickness
then those groups are consolidated into various sheet sizes groups.

Thanks

JES

Hi, James. What do you mean by "consolidated"? It sounds to me like you
should just do a sort? If you're summing column J, then maybe you just want
subtotals? Reference:

You can use a pivot table to summarize the date by material, thickness
and size. There are instructions in Excel's Help, and Jon Peltier has
information and links:
