lookup? list data into summary table

J

Joe

Hello

I have three coloums of data which I want to put into a table format (below)
COL A as the rows, COL B as the column headers and COL C as the data

I have tried using a pivot table but the Data needs to be numeric, therefore
doesn't work. The same with sumproduct

I then tried using the following formula
=IF(AND(Data!$A:$A=Summary!$A3,Data!$B:$B=Summary!C$2),lookup,Data!$C:$C)
(with the data being on one sheet and the table being on a second sheet)

but it only seems to be doing the same as VLOOKUP and picking up the first
in COL C list using COL A as the reference.

I tried using ctrl-shift-enter but the formula just returned the result -
#NUM!


Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

1) Create a new worksheet.
2) Copy column A from the old worksheet into the new worksheet starting in
cell A2 and go down from there.
3) In cell B1 of the new worksheet and over to the right for as many
columns as there are rows on the old worksheet use the TRANSPOSE function to
get the column B values to go across row 1 as column headings. (After you
use the TRANSPOSE function you may want to copy and paste special values.
4) Then in all the "data" area cells of the new worksheet you can use the
INDEX function in combination of the VLOOKUP function to get the data in the
proper cells.

Hope this is a start.

I think can make the Pivot Table work for you if you use "Count of", instead
of "Sum of". Then it can work won't mind non-numeric data.

Does that help?

thank you for your fast answer.

I am not sure I fully understand. on the data sheet in col A I have 5418
rows, 602 unique cells, and in col B 9 unique cells.

I already have the summary table set up with 602 rows and 9 columns and I
want to table the data in col C using col A & col B as reference.

Thanks

Hi

thank you for your answer

I have tried this but the count function will only count if there data in
the cells, I need the data from the cells.

thanks again

In case you're still interested in a Pivot Table approach, you CAN use the
same field more than once in the Pivot Table: once as a row or column and
again as the "Count of" field in the DATA area.

I'm not sure if that applies in your situation.
