Default Summarizing updated external data

I have a basic sheet that refreshes external data based on what someone
fills in for starting and ending dates in a couple of cells. The data is
just a bunch of customer order lines that have the customer id, part, qty,
price, etc.

I want a variety of summaries of some of the data on the side of the sheeet
or where ever, but I don't know the functions to use that will do somethnig
like the following automatically.:

Date --- Avg $ --- # of Ord --- Total$ --- Total Units
1/1/08 -- $15.00 -- 20 --- $500 ---- 300
1/2/08 -- $10.50 -- 10 --- $500 ---- 100
1/3/08 -- $12.35 -- 12 --- $500 ---- 250

What does the etc mean in " ... customer order lines that have the
customer id, part, qty, price, etc ..." ? Please give details of the
columns you use for the data.

Also, in your summary table you have a column for average $ - how is
this to be worked out? Total$ divided by # of Orders or by Total
Units? Neither of these seem to be the case in your examples.

Hope this helps.

etc. is short for "Et cetera" which means "And so on" or "And other
things". I was just saying that there are a lot more fields that I did not
want to list out.
