    P&L Pivot Table issues, need a recommendation please

    Hello Everyone,

    Attached is a document with two tabs, A marketing budget spreadsheet and a Chart of Accounts (COA). I need to review and revise the mock Marketing budget with this revised chart of accounts. The numbers are not a concern right now. Rather, my focus is on building formulas to make this a living document that’s scalable and gives my boss the ability to look at mini Profit and Losses (P&L’s) by marketing category. Does this sound I need to make a pivot table? If so what do you think the first steps should be? If not, can you recommend a course of action with the first few steps? Of course I don't expect anyone to just create this but I yearn for a sense of direction, please and thank you.

    Im not sure I understand your chart or how the account numbers align with the broader categories...but I would put the data in a database like format: column A (YYYYMM - for Year and Month of data Ex 201810 for october 2018; Col. B ~your account number OR I would use a formula to MAP your Account number into the Categories that you want to look at. Then I would create a Pivot Table for the data and add to it monthly.
