Worksheet program to convert parent/children data to string(s)
 

Hi All!

I am trying to convert Customer data, predominantly pricing info, from one
or more rows of data for each customer to one row for each Customer.

Here is a brief layout of what i'm looking to do with made up info:

CustNum PData1 PData2 PData3
100 A1 A2 A3
200 B1 B2 B3
200 C1 C2 C3
300 A1 A2 A3
300 D1 D2 D3

CustNum PData1.1 PData1.2 PData1.3 PData2.1 PData2.2 PData2.3
100 A1 A2 A3
200 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 C3
300 A1 A2 A3 D1 D2 D3

We have 1000 Customers & many customers have 30 items. Prices in our
industry change frequently, so hand-keying the data each time multiple prices
change up or down is not efficient.

Getting the raw data is very easy from our server into Excel (Office 2007),
or Access if that is better.

Any ideas are welcome, as we have no experience in Macros/VB at this point.

Thanks!

If you feel comfortable, provide an email addresses and I think I can offer
you a working model.


Basically, using VBA I'd read the raw data into a temp array, sort the
array, then transfer the temp array to a worksheet. Good news, even with
over 1000 customers and 30 data element this should be fairly quick.
