    Lookup a table of information not just one cell.

    Hello, first post on this site. Trying to figure this out as fast as possible

    I am trying to create a workbook that will bring up all materials used from week to week and a total to date.
    I started by making a data sheet for me to enter material used from day to day.

    http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/...ta%20Sheet.png

    The hard part is I need to make it so when you type in a date it will bring up all the data for that week. So say i type in 20160529, It will basically just copy and paste the table for that day from the data sheet to the empty cells below the date on the QPR Materials sheet. this is the formula i am having a hard time trying to figure out.

    so from week to week we can have a QPR report and bring up any other week at any other time we need to check.

    I will have a running total of every item used as well. That i think i can figure out.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This could be simple and i just don't know the formula.

    Why don't you just use a pivot table?
    It can be done by MATRIX Formula, if you don't want to use the pivot.

    There is a way to use the pivot table like a lookup command? So if i enter the date i want information from, it will pull all the information from the table with the same date and fill out the table on the opposing sheet?

    You don't need the Function by using the Pivot Table.

    Just create a Pivot Table linked with you Data Base and put the Date in the filter.

    I see, I laid out my data sheet poorly to work with pivot table. I need to put it in 4 columns to do what i want to do.
