I am trying to get a qty summary for unique item #'s out of an
orderconfirmation that looks like this. The item will appear multiple times
in the WS for different orders. I found the pivot function which will
summarise the qty's for each item but my problem is that if an order# is
duplicated the qty will show (e.g) 7 and not 5. Is there a way around this?
Like choosing unique order#'s in a pivot chart?

Order# Item# Qty
IR-0424-1 529 2
MIN-042208-M1 529 3
IR-0424-1 529 2
etc...

Don't know if this will make any sense but any help is appreciated!

Choose all unique values (non-duplicates) before you build your Pivot Table.
Use this method: Data > Filter > Advanced Filter > Copy to Another Location

Unique Records Only (check the box). Build your Pivot Table with this data

set...
