hi all and thanks if you respond

a quick question if you have a range full of values how do you create a
total function that breaks the amounts by a break point similar to the pivot
table function - for those who know Oracles OLAP DML or Express Server or
Personel Express my example is

limit product code to all
limit brand to all
report width 30 total(sales brand )

where product code has been related to brand

so can we force excel to do this easily

Since you know a PivotTable does what you want why not use one?

lots of reasons - but for one im working in a multi page form with a user
clicking on
values - i dont expect my users to understand pivot tables nor do i
understand them fully myself

can a pivot table be added to a user form ? - i suspect not as the toolbox
is limited so therefore i thought maybe i could create a function that does
the calculation that i need and i could put the results in a display object

thank you for your advice and interest
