Merging 2 lists with a twist
I have two lists in separate files. They look something like this:
Month Product Qty Price Total Jan Apples 54 3 162 Jan Oranges 21 3 63 Jan Plums 54 3 162 Jan Peaches 14 3 42 Jan Nectarines 24 3 72 Jan Bananas 64 3 192 Month Product Qty Price Total Feb Bananas 5 2 10 Feb Oranges 3 2 6 Feb Plums 26 2 52 Feb Honeydew 54 2 108 Feb Watermelon 24 2 48 In my final product, I need to compare the two lists, but the twist is - I need to add lines that show each product, so even if Jan doesn't have Honeydew, I need to show a line in Jan that shows Honeydew with a Qty of 0. So far, I've done a If(countif(range, criteria)1,True,False) to flag the duplicates, then sort to group them together. Should I now run a bit of code that inserts blank rows between each row, then copy the content of the cell above each cell down? I guess I could then split manually to see the data side-by-side, or use a pivot table. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! -- Thanks! Dee |

Merging 2 lists with a twist
Hi Dee
Just copy list 2 (minus the header row) and paste directly under List1. Click a cell in the List, DataPivot TableNextFinish Drag Month to the Row area Drag Product to the Row area Drag Qty, Price and Total to the data area. Drag Data tot he Total column to show these side by side. Double click on Product field and select show items with no data. -- Regards Roger Govier "dee" wrote in message ...

Merging 2 lists with a twist
I hate to be a pest, but just encountered another issue.
I succeeded in having my data nicely laid out, showing the Qty and Value for each month. Now, what I would like to do is add to extra columns, so show the difference of Qty from one month to next (current month minus last month) and also for Value. Is this possible? -- Thanks!
