need some advices/ideas
Hi
I have a problem that i need some ideas or advice on how to solve it. The problem = I have a list of products, qty & their unique id. I need to find the total for each product & display the result on a summary worksheet. I have my raw data containing product information & unique id on worksheet "raw". On the summary page, i have set 2 cells with validation list of the product name & month. I want to allow the user to be able to choose the product thery want to & then display the product information & their sum. I have 25 different products with a few products having different cacapity. Do i list all the 25 different products in the summary page & fixed the cell so that for each different product , i have a macro that will calculate the sum & output to the corresponding cell on the summary page? Then if in the future, i need to add im new products, i will need to create new macro for the new products, is there some way which i can automate this so that i have a general macro to calculate the total for different product base on the 2 cells with validation list & then write the answer back to the correct corresponding cell? Thank you for reading I can do it manually but i would like to automate it as more new products will be added in the future. |

The best way IMO would be to have a formula that creates a list of unique
products from the raw data sheet, and then create data validation in the summary sheet linking back to the product list. Months you can create a simple 12 item list. To get the sums, you can then use a formula like =SUMPRODUCT(--('Raw data'!$A$2:$A$200=C2),--(TEXT('Raw data'!$B$2:$B$200,"mmm")=D2),'Raw data'!$C$2:$C$200) where on Raw data column A is the product, B the date, C the amount, and C2 is the product dropdown, D2 is the month dropdown. C2 and D2 can be extended down, as can the formula. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "kiwis" wrote in message oups.com...

Hi Bob
Thank you for your reply. I have simplifed my problem,so i will be more detailed here. I have raw information for 12 months in the worksheet "raw". I have written a marco to split the data into the respective months, so i have 12 worksheets for each month containing raw information for that month. I have created a summary worksheet with 3 cells with data validation - month, product, capcity size. On the summary page below the 3 cells with data validation, i have listed all the products. I am doing it manually by summing up a product using autofilter & subtotal to get the sum & then write it back to the corresponding cell. I am looking for some idea/advice so that i can automate the process such that i can select the product, size & the month then i can get the sum & it would be best if it can auto copy the result into the correct corresponding cell. for eg, the 3 cells with data validation, i choose Jan, product a, 2GB the on the summary page , i have this row = product a , 2GB , so i want to automate it such that the sum product a will be written back to the next cell in this row. I have all the products listed on the summary page below the 3 cells with data validation. I hope this is clear, i' m not sure abt your idea. Thank you for your reply.Hope you can provide more ideas.
