Hello,

I am working on some tables for forecasting.

Currently, to send an input table out to the sales man, I have to convert a
pivot table (with data) to regular table with formulas.
I have to copy the pivot and paste special values and manually add back my
formulas, ex =SUM. So that the sales man can overwrite the existing amount in
the table and not effecting the original source data.

Is there a more efficent way of doing this?
Currently the pivot tables has many sub total, and you can imagine how many
times I need to insert the formular into the regular table.

I am not sure I am totally understanding what your problem is. You send out
data to salesmen and they return the data and then you take that data and
convert it to a pivot table and then you convert the pivot table to a
summarized table and then you send that back out to the salesmen? I think if
I understood exactly what all was going on, I could help you. But can you
more clearly explain what you are doing. Maybe explain why you're doing it
too because perhaps I (or someone else) could then suggest a different way to
accomplish the same thing.

Hi Mike,

I already have all the data from the past forecast.
I convert the data into pivot table, which is calendarised and it is grouped
by customer, salesman, Product Group and product items.

I copied and paste the pivot table into static table and send it out to the
sales man for their input and reforecast.

But by doing so, the subtotal is out. Thus I need to manually insert the @
sum for each sub grouping all over again.
This is pretty tedious, as I have many customers, 10 sales man, 30 product
group and many product items.

If your data is laid out like I think it is, then this should work. Try it
and if it doesn't, let me know.

Hi Mike,

I tried to run the macro, but it say - "Can't execute in breakmode."
Not sure what it meant.

By the way, my data has more columns and rows than the example I gave.
I believe that should not affect the programming.
Am I right?

Can't operate in break mode means you have another macro that is "paused" and
you can't start another one with it paused. To clear it, select Run>Reset on
the menu in the editor. And yes, the number of columns would GREATLY affect
this macro as I based everything on what I saw in your example. If you can't
figure it out you'll have to give me the columns for all the items in your
data.

The real format is exactly the same as the e.g I gave, except that the real
columns are extended to Dec 2008.

What about the number of rows, will that affect the macro too?
I could not provide you the exact number of rows as each customer has
different number of product and may increase.

The number of rows is not relevant. The macro should take that just fine.
To expand the columns you'd need to modify the code

'you'd need to add code to continue out to H, I etc til you get to the Dec
column...

thanks.
That is of great help.
