Hello,
I'm new to all that Excel & VB stuff, so I need your help :)
I've got a table who looks a bit like that
BLT 4 Not enough
BLT 892 Normal
BLT 628 Too much
Lobster Rib 18 Normal
Lobster Rib 6 Too much
Hamburger 1 Normal
I want to aggregate some data, I expect a result like that
Anormal sandwichs ("Too much" or "Not enough")
BLT 632
Lobster Rib 6
Hamburger 0
It's a bit heavy to really explain... if you don't understand, please ask me :)

Hi eirikur,
Here is a programming-free solution:
1) I put your data into a worksheet, with headers in Row 1 of Type, Qty, and Descr, and the data starting in Row 2
2) I created a PivotTable, with Type as a ROW field, Descr a COLUMN field, and (Sum of) Qty as a DATA field
3) I added a calculated item to the Descr field, Abnormal, defined as: ='Not enough' +'Too much'
4) I used the selection list in the Descr field to show just Normal and Abnormal
5) I went into the Field Settings for Sum of Qty, hit the Options button, and selected "% of row" under
"Show data as"
That gave me a PivotTable showing Normal vs. Abnormal on a percent basis for each type.
Regards,
Patrick
suppose
your a1:a6 contains BLT..LOBSTER..HAMBURGER
your B1:B6 contains 4,892..18..1
your C1:C6 contains not enough... too much... normal
You need to add one more coloumn say D1:d6 and
it will have
"OK" WHERE EVER U REQUIRE ("Too much" or "Not enough")
now i want a sum result a c7
that should scan all the above data from a1:c6
and it should give me resumt of 4 + 628
That is my D column with OK
now on c7 type formula
=SUM((A6:A6="BLT")*(D1:D6=
and
now presss Control Key + Shift Key + Enter
that will make the a1:d6 to any array
and will give u result of 632
if you see the formula above the column u will see
that {} courley brackets are added to the formula
in the same way you can determine the other conditions
Sorry, I was right the first time--calculated item.
Before executing step 3 below, select the gray cell marked "Descr". That should allow you to add Abnormal
as a calculated item within the Descr PivotField.

I just uploaded an example file to www.ee-stuff.com.

eirikur,
> Step 5 : Where can I modify the field settings for Sum of Qty ?
You can rightclick or doubleclick the gray cell that reads "Sum of Qty" in the PivotTable.
If you go into the Layout screen from the PivotTable Wizard, you can do it there also
(again by rightclicking or doubleclicking the field).

menu -> data -> filter -> auto filter
just select abnormal type from the filter criteria
