    Search Multifacitated Table for Values

    I'm attempting to search values from a set of data that's downloaded every day. Example below. I need to find out how much of item category (food or bev) was sold during lunch and dinner in both the bar and the dining room. I tried using index match but I'm having trouble since there essentially 2 tables located on top of each other.


    Things to note:

    1. The format sucks, I know. But it is downloaded this way...

    2. Goal is to pull data from "Feb-26" (daily tab) to the "Week 1" tab.

    3. There are 3 criteria

    Meal time: Lunch or Dinner (There sometimes are more)

    Revenue Center: Bar or Dining Room (There sometimes are more)

    Item Category: Food or Beverage


    Can you suggest a formula I could use to scan all the data and find the correct values?

    The range I'd be searching for, Bar or Dining room, would always begin with the cell containing Bar/Dining Room and end with the cell containing "Total Net Sales". Could I somehow define the range using that and then use index/match?

    Popipipo,

    I've attached an example of the data download I do every day. "Feb-26" contains the download and "week 1" is the sheet that I have to manually enter the values into. Ideally I'd like the "week 1" tab to read the "Feb-26" data when I paste it in there.

    Here are a couple of different solutions that you may be able to adapt to your situation. This uses a vertical arrangement of dates so that the data can be more easily read and manipulated.

    Horizontal arrangements are more difficult to read and are more cumbersome to calculate with.

    The formulas in worksheet week1 refer to another workbook.
    The index formula don't like that.

    I've been looking for more 15 min to the file and don't know what you exactly want.

    Re: Search Multifacitated Table for Values

    Thank you for your work. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I need the information pulled from one sheet into a different format on the other. I've attached an example which may eliminate some confusion.

    The formats need to stay the same. I just need to somehow read the download "Feb-26" and pull it into "week 1"

    Sorry. Please ignore the formulas. I have deleted them.

    How do I pull the information from "feb-26" to "week 1"?

    Re: Search Multifacitated Table for Values

    You are looking for these items...
    Food
    Liquor
    Beer
    Wine
    Cold Bevs

    Could you change those names to something actually matches what you want from the douwnload? You ask for "Liquor", but what you actually want (based on your sample) is "Beverage Total Net Sales" and you say Beer, but your total is for LIQUOR


    They seem to be in the same relative position in each "Table" of data. Is that true for all the downloads?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Search Multifacitated Table for Values

    Yes, you're right. I wrote bev and food for simplicity's sake. The download matches those categories as shown on "feb-26" tab.

    The downloads are always in that order. But sometimes there is no lunch data. And sometimes not every category (food,liq,beer etc.) is represented.
