Hey Excel Experts....i have a problem.
I have a single report that I've consolidated from 5 other reports.
The "master" report is supposed to have totals for each product code from the five "child" reports. So basically I have a sorted list of product codes with there associated cost and I need to generate a list of product codes without duplicates so that I can generate formulas to calculate the totals.
Anyone have any idea how to do this? |

Before I take a shot at this let me restate the question.
Of the 5 reports sometimes one product code shows up on one or more reports? Yes?
You combine all the reports into one sheet with the same column headings and data format and sort them by #?
You want to eliminate duplicates?
First step will be creating an IF column (hidden) where you do a check
=IF(Below row=current row, 1,0)
Hang on I think I can make this happen....go pick.

yeah..that is what i need...
however I think if I SUM each column and use the SUBTOTAL function that I can have all of the duplicates collapse under one subtotal heading.....is this right?

I also found a method using "Data->Consolidate"
where you give the product code and cost a range name and then the above command totals the values and erases duplicates......i think that is exactly what I was looking for.
