Consolidating data
If desired, send your file to my address below. I will only look if:
1. You send a copy of this message on an inserted sheet
2. You give me the newsgroup and the subject line
3. You send a clear explanation of what you want
4. You send before/after examples and expected results.

Hi,
I need to consolidate some lines of data in a 19K line spreadsheet and
then
change its basic format.
I have 3 columns of data: ID# | date | volume
My problem is that while the data is mostly monthly, there are some months
with two entries and I need to consolidate them into a single monthly
value.
I don't care which of the dates is used as long as the month and year are
correct. That's the 'consolidate' part.
Then I need to convert the 19,000 row spreadsheet to a big grid with the
meters listed in the left row and the month/year at the top of each column
with the appropriate volumes in the body of the table. This is the
'format'
part and I suspect that I can use Access to do this, but I thought I would
ask for input here, too.
thanks
