Hi!
I have a workbook that pulls sales from an Access database. The data is set
to update each time the workbook is opened. I created a summary worksheet
to look at the data tab and just show current month's sales by category
which is basically a formula for each row to make current sales visible and
then I have a simple Macro to sort the data. There are a few issues I have
here. First, I had to create formulas for thousands of rows to make sure I
have enough rows to cover data in the data tab, so if the sales totals
exceed the rows I have for the sales summary, then I miss sales. Second,
for some reason now, when the Access data updates, it messes up the formulas
in the summary tab and I get #ERR in the formulas. Third, my Macro just
sorts the data bring it to the top so the blank rows go to the bottom. I
have to sort in inverse order, so the summary is backwards.
A little background on formulas:
* I have named ranges for the Access data tab that are using OFFSET so all
data is included in the named range regardless of how many rows it fills.
* The formula in the summary is just a formula that looks at each row and
checks to see if it is within the current month and then shows the
description, date and sales price. If it is not in the current month, it is
just blank.
* The sort Macro just resorts the data range (about 2500 rows) descending so
the blanks go to the bottom rows.
What I would like to do is figure out a way to have the summary page just
find the monthly totals for that month in ascending order. Is there a way
to do this so I can avoid creating thousands of rows of formulas and just
have it fill in the data?
Thanks!
