    Help - array formula nightmare!!!!

    Hi,

    Please can anyone help with a series of array formulas, I receive data
    from a scheduled incident report, which looks a bit like the following:

    Group Sub GP Duration < 1hr Duration 1-2hrs Duration > 2hrs
    A 0 0 2
    5
    A 1 0 3
    0
    A 1a 5 0
    12
    A 2 9 0
    15
    B 0 1 1
    11
    B 1 0 0
    0
    B 1a 2 1
    0
    B 2 0 2
    1

    The report I receive is normally contains about 2000 groups and approx
    25 more duration columns so I need something set up where i just paste
    the report into a spreadsheet and it calculates:

    All Group totals ie Group A, including all sub groups and all
    durations, so for the above data the result would be: Group A = 51
    incidents Group B = 19

    All sub group totals, so again for the above data the result would be:
    GroupA Sub Group 0 = 7
    Sub Group 1 = 3
    Sub Group 1a = 17 etc

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks

    flick.

    Can you just clarify how you want the data to be presented? Do you want
    a table which shows the Groups and a separate table showing the
    sub-groups? Something like:

    Total
    A x
    B x
    C x

    and

    Total
    A 0 x
    A 1 x
    A 1a x
    A 2 x
    B 0 x
    B 1 x
    B 1a x
    B 2 x


    If so, how many main groups do you have (and are these really letters),
    and what sub-groups do you have? Will it be okay to have these summary
    tables in a separate sheet, so that you can paste your data into Sheet1
    each time? If you have 25 more duration columns, does this mean your
    main data sheet goes out to column AD ?

    It sounds as though a Pivot Table would do what you want, and do so very
    easily.

    Hi,

    I have upto 2000 main groups which are all Teams within a department ie
    CST, TAGS1, MNG1 etc. Incidents raised for each team lie in 1 of 7 sub
    groups which are 0, 1, 1a, 2, 2a, 3 and 4. And then they sit in 1 of 15
    depending on the duration to date of the incident. Durations are <1 hr,
    1-2 hrs, 3-7hrs, 7-10hrs etc

    Tables you have shown would be a great way to display I just cant get
    my head around it. No problem with pasting data into one sheet and
    displaying table results into another.

    Thanks and much appreciated
