Reconstruct Data Table So That Column Headers Become Values In Table
Jul 15, 2014
I have a large table that I want to reconstruct. For simplicity sake, let's just says it's 3 rows (excluding headers) by 3 columns.
Item Description
1/1/2014
1/2/2014
1/3/2014
Cheese Burgers
2
3
4
Hot Dogs
5
12

I want to reconstruct it so that the column headers become values in the table. The table headers are dates, in this case, if that gives clearer picture. So the new table would have 9 rows, (3 rows of data, excluding the header times four columns).
Item Description
Date
Quantity
Cheese Burgers
1/1/2014
2
Hot Dogs
1/1/2014
5
[Code] ....
The above example is sorted by date but I would be indifferent if it's sorted by the Item Description.
Is there an easy way to do this? Pivot possibly? Again, my data table is large: 36 rows x 181 columns. Using the copy/paste/transpose feature is pretty impractical.
I've done some searching and cannot find the right answer for my question. I need to create a formula that will pull column header text data based on cells within a table that contain a numeric value not equal to zero. The catch is that I cannot use any one specific numeric value as the basis for a Lookup.
I've attached an example spreadsheet for reference. Basically, I need two formulas:
1. Formula to pull column header (Receiver name) based on Sender. This is a necessity. 2. Formula to pull individual lines for those senders that have multiple receivers (Division D in my example).
My actual data file has 80+ senders and 100+ receivers.
I want to include columns in my Pivot Table where there is no data for that column. For example, I want to show 12 columns, one for each month, but my data only has 9 months of values.
Types: close to 4,000 total cells in the column with multiple repeats Amounts: Obvious Names: Only 6 available names (i.e. Tom, Bill, Fred, Richard, Sam, Alex)
It looks like this:
Type Amount Name Type 1 | $$$$ | Tom Type 1 | $$$$ | Bill Type 2 | $$$$ | Fred Type 3 | $$$$ | Richard Type 3 | $$$$ | Tom Type 3 | $$$$ | Sam Type 3 | $$$$ | Alex Type 4 | $$$$ | Fred
What I want to do is create a table with the parameters using the information contained in the previous table:
Type Tom Bill Fred Richard Sam Alex Type 1 | $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ Type 2 | $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ Type 3 | $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ Type 4 | $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$
Is there any way to convert the first table to the second table? I'm using Mac OS/X
I have a long growing statistical report(18 pages + more), and 14 of the pages will use report table headers. I went into the page set up and selected the row to repeat on each page. I do not want the table headers on any pages after 14. The rest of the report is formatted differently and does not use the row headers. but all of the information is related. Is there a way to only show the row headers up to page 14? I can't use headers and footers, of course. The report will be set in one place and the user will print it out once a week. It seems as if this cannot be done but I this is my last resort.
I have a pivot that links to another tab, which has items categorised by Date ranges i.e. Date Group 1, Date Group 2, Date Group 3 and Date Group 4.
Sometimes none of the items will fall into a date group i.e. there is no date group 1's for that period, but my pivot simply removes the whoel date group 1 column when refreshed whereas I would like the pivot to always have the 4 headers and quote 0 if there is none in that category.
I've built a table that is meant to track the quality scores of multiple teams of agents. The agents are assigned to leads who are doing the quality monitoring. The goal is to track and trend the date the monitor is completed, the score of the monitor (scale of 1 - 12), who completed the monitor (initials in Lead column), and the running average score. The Score and Lead column are drop down validations.
This is being one of my first exploits into excel, so I am not sure if I built this correctly structurally, or what. When I go to create a pivot table off the data I have created, it's not calculating the values correctly. As an example if I want to count the number of 'score' for CCR1 it's always 1. From what I have been able to research is that this is because I have essentially repeated the headers multiple times. Below is what the table looks like so far.
I need to assign headers to a table according to the file name and location. I have attached the example spreadsheet. Sheet1 contains the table with the data and Sheet2 assigns the headers to each file and location. The code is skipping headers and I can not figure it out.
I decided to format my data as a table so that excel will auto-fill my formulas when inserting new rows which works quite well. I have one snag though, when trying to insert a new row at the very top (i.e. inbetween the header and first row) and choosing Format As Below, it also applies Data Validation and Conditional Formatting to the header. The inserted row, however, is actually formatted fine and works well.
How do I stop this from happening, and why would Excel do this anyway (as it is effectively applying formatting to TWO rows when only one row is being inserted)?
I have a set of data that I formatted as a table, including headers. It seems that the columns are numbered, and after the column header is a number. i.e., Sales 2, GP Freight 3, etc.
I have spent some time researching this and came up empty. Is there a way to disable this part of table formatting?
There is pivot table for some reason the last column (YEAccts), which sums all the other columns values is exluding the 1st column for some reason. This "YEAccts" shows up fine in the pivot table "field list". And I followed the source for this and it's a table in a different tab that pulls data from an access query connection.
The name of the column that is summing up the rest of the columns is "YEAccts", but for the life of me I can't seem to find where this column is in the source table tab or even in the access query where the data is being pulled from.
How to find this "YEAccts" column? Also, why would it exclude not summing up the data in the first column?
When I add a table in Excel, I can choose from Table Styles, different styles that set one color for even rows and another color for odd rows.
Is there a way to say to this Table Style that assign one color for rows that have the same string in column A in consecutive rows and another color when the string in colum A changes?
I mean, If A1= XYZ, A2=XYZ assign blue to row 1 and 2. If A3:A9=FTG assign green to rows 3 to 9. If A10:A13=LLKF assign blue again to rows 10 to 13. If A14:A22=WUR882 assign green again to rows 14 to 22.
I want to accomplish something like this but slightly different:
[url]
I have the same issue but a bit more complex. In my case I have an additional amount of columns (let's say dimensions). So for the example given (sales per month) I would add two columns for 4 different regions and 5 machine types (just examples).
The output (that would serve as pivot tabel input) would then have to be a 4 x 5 x 12 x 4 = 960 row database table.
I have tried to accomplish it by customizing the given code but that provedto be beyond my powers ;o)
and some 3rd party software [url]and [url] but non of them is doing what I'm looking for.
The code I'm looking for ideally would count the number of columns and unique records per column and construct the database table from that. So I am looking for flexibility in the number of dimensions also...
I have two Tables, Table1 and Table2, in a single Excel spreadsheet. Table1 is our master log, and Table2 contains only Provider Names, Contact Names, Phone Numbers, and Email Addresses. I need to compare column K from Table1 with column AT from Table2. Whenever Excel finds a perfect match, I need Excel to copy AW:AY to AB:AD. For each value in column AT, there will be several identical matches in column K.
I have tried to implement vlookup() and index(match()), but cannot figure either one of them.
Table1 is almost 1500 rows long, while Table2 is not quite 80.
Vlookup a table, to another table that has multiple values.
E.g.
Table GPASP002
Look up table - need to return second coloum but not the first value, all the values? GPASP002 KZASP100 GPASP002 KZASP500 GPASP002 KZASP600 GPASP002 KZASP501 GPASP002 KZASP502 GPASP002 KZASP601
I have this list of companies (about 50) in one work sheet. If a certain company has sales or costs it will appear under the company name, as either Products, Installation or Freight. It looks something like this:
Company Sales Costs
[Code]....
What formula should I use the find the installation that belongs to that certain company? And not all companies has a line that say installation.
and what I want is to say put a formula in cell B3 on Sheet 1 pointing to cell C3 that has zip code 33333. I want it to then take that and look in Sheet 2 and search A1:D3 and when it finds 33333, return "territory 2" back to cell B3 on Sheet 1.
I have a list of parts in a table. I am manually copy/pasting this list to another sheet in my workbook and then using DATA→Remove Duplicates to get a shortened list. Is there a way to automate this process?
In the attached workbook I want the yellow cells to auto-fill for me.
I get a lot of lists in the format on the left hand side so I want excel to automatically format them for me so that I can use the output on the right.
I currently have a table with a range of headings (row & column), and the necessary data for it. On a new worksheet, I have a table with only a few of the headings, and I was wondering if there was a macro that would automaticlly match the headings of the new sheet with the other table, and fill in the ncessary dat, as on the other sheet.
I have been working on a spreadsheet with 28000 lines and I have gone through and resorted, researched and completed the spreadsheet over the last couple weeks. When I went to change it back to a CSV file to give back to the vendor, I realized that at some point when I sorted the list I mixed up the unique identifier (I at some point did not sort the UID only the other columns) and because I have resaved this file over itself I only have the original CSV file to go back and reimport... but dont have time to look up each of these 28000 lines again. I am looking for a way to take a cell from my final spreadsheet (Spreadsheet A) then find it on the original CSV spreadsheet (Spreadsheet B) then copy the UID field from speardsheet B to a blank field in spreadsheet A.
I have a userform with two listboxes in them, i have set the columns in the listbox to 9 and would like to populate the column headers in the listboxes with the column header of one of the sheets.
I have created a table in Excel 2010 (pls see attached table named post.xlsx).
Then copied the above table into PowerPoint 2010, using "paste link" (I tried to attach the PowerPoint file but the system says "invalid file type" and I cannot attach it).
Question:
I have received income data for another month - the new month is 13 and the corresponding new income is 100. I typed 13 and 100 into the Excel table post.xlsx and thus extended the table by another column.
Then I went back to PowerPoint slide, then right clicked on the table there, then clicked "update link".
Specific Question:
The newly-typed column in Excel table is not get updated in PowerPoint table.
