Need some help in re-organising data from external source
Hello all, and thank you for reading this.
I import a file into Excel which lists all types of products with their respective product code and quantities. The imported spreadsheet would look something like this... Code Product Day1 Day2 Day3 Day 4 ...... Day31 Total 001 Standard Blocks 32250 28578 33950 32475 37750 1750576 002 Cavity Blocks 16500 17243 12586 25874 11432 505462 015 Plastering Sand 72593 63406 52968 60175 59677 250355 Basically, what I need to do is when this data is imported a macro would sort all data into its corresponding type e.g all blocks together, all sand, all stone, all mortar, and concrete etc. The data does not have a column that describes the product. Only what is in the example above. I have absolutely no experience in macros, but would be absolutely grateful for any ideas or help. I read most of the problems in discussion groups and think that this is the greatest place in the world. I enjoy solving problems for people when I can and I hope that someone can help me with this. Many Thanks -- Niall |

Niall,
It's difficult to visualise what you want, if you could post your data file somewhere like http://savefile.com/ and post the link, i'm sure a solution can be found.

Hi Niall
If you mark the total set of data, can you not just carry out a Sort on Column A (Code) and that will bring all the codes of the same type together.
