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:

Entering text in Multiple Worksheets

If you have a number of worksheets in a workbook that require the same information (data or tables) on each worksheet, this can be done as follows:

Hold down the Ctrl key and click one or more of the additional worksheet tabs (i.e. Sheet2, Sheet3, etc).

In your mainsheet (Sheet1) enter the required data or design a table.

When done 'Click' on the other sheet tabs and you will see that the information entered in Sheet1 is on all the other selected worksheets.

NB Do not forget to deselect the worksheets - otherwise you may add data to the main worksheet and all the selected worksheets will also have that data!
