I'm going to post something a little different today. I came across a challenge at work a few days ago that got me thinking about Excel.
So say you have a bunch of data that looks like this:
How would you organize this data so that rather than looking at 30+ lines of data, you only have to look at 4 lines to determine how many hours each division worked at each job? If you try to create a pivot table from this data, you get this:
Well, that doesn't help. We have how many hours each division worked, but the jobs are completely separate. So how do we organize this by groups rather than by row/column? It looks like the solution lies in some sort of if/and/vlookup function/formula. But I don't have much time today, I'll look into this more later. If you have an idea of how to solve this, let me know!
