    Exclamation Nesting "IF" statements or Lookup values??

    On one worksheet is a list of three columns - Item #, Item Description, and Quantity needed. Item # contains the name of the product AND the materials used to make the product. I need to convert this long list into a column based form, where each Product is a row and separate the materials needed into columns.

    For Example

    ItemID Item Description Qty Needed
    C0001 EZCoat PC10
    P0041 Potassium Sulfate 0.6250
    P0021 Borax 5 mole 0.2000
    P0008 Ethoxylated Nonylphenol (9 mo) 0.0050
    P0038 Sodium Sulfate 0.0500
    P0042 Sodium Gluconate 0.0500
    P0025 Trisodium Phosphate Crystals 0.0500

    Where the items listed with a "C" are the codes for the main product and "P" are the materials need to make "C"

    The spreadsheet I'm trying to create looks like this


    Product Code Product Name Potassium Sulfate Borax Ethoxlated Sodium
    C0001 EZCoat PC10 0.625 .2000 .0050 .05


    Because I have hundreds of chemicals, I can't do a simple row to column change. I need a way for it to match the product code and put the amount of chemical needed into the correct column.

    I thought this would be simple, but I'm really stuck. Help

    Please attach a sample workbook with enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    Thank you so much for taking a look at this. I have over a thousand rows of information, so I really don't want to hand enter everything.
