Hi all, Got a pretty standard spreadsheet, but it's large enough that doing the following manually is very time intensive; I need to be able to group the entries by a particular category, and apply totals to those groups. Preferably to be able to sort those groups by their totals, and have it in a presentable manner. The closest I've gotten is putting the data into OO Base, and using their report function it makes a smart looking table, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to apply totals to the group. Any ideas? It's really important for work and I'm sure there must be a way to do this fairly easily. Cheers, thanks in advance.
I think you need a pivot table. I'm not familiar enough with them myself to explain exactly what you need to do, but Wikipedia looks like a good place to start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I agree that a pivot table sounds like what you need, If you keep adding a lot of data to this it might be worth converting it to a database in the long term
