Hi Sheryl,

I am sorry that you haven't heard from me earlier but I have been training everyday and I haven't had time to look at your workbooks.

To optimize a process you will need to know the process very well and I do not have any specific suggestions sorry but I know what I would do.

I would write a code in the visual basic editor to take care of all the repeating tasks in the process. This of course takes a lot of knowledge of vba programming.

You can try to record the repeating tasks and see if Excel can do some of the tasks for you. You can record importing the data, creating the pivot table, grouping the data and probably more of the tasks.

If you want to record the tasks please do it in a copy of the workbooks just to make sure that Excel does not ruin your hard work. Test the macro in the copy and when it is working correct you can run it in the right workbook.

I am sorry I cannot really give you any other advice.




Kind regards
