Deleting / collating data

Hi,

I receive a report where there are duplicate products say for isnstance in Colunm A ( say A1 and A2 both say Mars bar) then in column B I have the Stock on hand and Stock on order. There are duplicate columns as one is for the duty stock and the other is for the bonded stock.

As I am not interested in the difference - I just need to have one row for each product with the toatls stock on hand and stock on order. I.e delet the mars bar A2 row but ensure the stock on hand and stock on order vols in row 2 have been added to row 1.

I get a list with about 200 + products on each week were I have to add and delate each row individually - Please et me know if there is a easy way around this.

I can send a example if you let me know where to send it too.



Thanks,
Hugo

RE: Deleting / collating data

Hello Hugo,

Thank you for your reply and attached file.

As always there are usually many ways to resolve issues in Excel. Your issue will require a Macro or some VBA coding to perform the necessary actions you need.

I can do what you want using sub-totals then copying and pasting the results into a new sheet with one or two modifications. All in all this method doesn't take too long and can be made quicker if you create a few macros to perform these actions very quickly. If you use macros you probably will have to modify the code a bit so that whenever you wish to run it on fresh data... it will work!

I have attached your file with 2 sheets and some text boxes showing you how to perform these actions.

Give it a try!

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.

Excel tip:

Create a hyperlink navigation sheet

In large files, it is often useful to have a front sheet with hyperlinks to the key databases and summary calculations in your spreadsheet. Hyperlinks can save you and (more importantly) those less familiar with your spreadsheet a great deal of pointless scrolling between and within sheets.



Hyperlinks appear as underlined text and can jump to any cell or range name in your file. You can also use hyperlinks to jump to other files.



To create a hyperlink to a location in the active workbook: (1) Select the cell that contains the text you want to use as the hyperlink and choose Insert|Hyperlink.(2)Click Place in this document.(3)Choose the sheet you want to link to or the range name from the list of "Defined Names".(4)If necessary, type the cell reference in the Type in the cell reference box. (5) Click OK.
