    Use Pivot Table for the expected outcome

    Thanks, but I have large number of entries and I would like to have a holistic view of all the data instead of picking each ID from the drop down! Any further guidance will be well appreciated!

    I am not talking about Filter I am suggesting you to use PIVOT TABLE, please don't get confused

    Sorry, my bad. Couple of questions: 1> Does the pivot table automatically update as the raw data changes? 2> Does it scale to say 500K+ entries in Excel 2010?
    Thanks.

    Whenever any change in your RAW DATA come back to PIVOT TABLE and place the cursor inside the PIVOT and do RIGHT CLICK and select REFRESH. The change in RAW DATA will get applied in PIVOT.

    I believe, PIVOT is the best method which handles HUGE DATA better than any other methods in excel..............
