    Tree style cell organization

    It may be a bit difficult to explain what I'm trying here, but bear with me:

    I am making a spreadsheet that contains sales information on different products. (for someone that is familiar, it's for the video game EVE online)
    What I want to do is separate the cells and their formulas based on their parent item without having to make a sheet for each item. Trees come to mind, though I haven't used them so I'm not sure they're what I'm looking for.

    For example, I have 50 orders for a particular item, but the price changes before the order is completed so I need to create another row for the same item, just with a new quantity and price. The catch is, there is a broker's fee which I only need to factor in on the original 50 item order, so the formulas I have for profitability can't just be dragged down.

    What I want is to have a parent item representing the first order, followed by suborders that don't factor in the broker's fee. Preferably I want this in a way that allows me to drag the formulas down and expand each item with their own, separate formulas dependent on the parent item.

    I know it's a little hard to follow, but I hope someone has an idea of what I mean and I hope that it is possible. I could always just put each item in its own sheet, but I expect to be processing a lot of items and it would be simpler to keep it on one.

    If you post a workbook with some sample data and the results you want it will be so much easier to help you.

    Thank you, I've posted it here with comments. It's mostly an organizational thing, but I want the function to remain with collapsible parent items.

    Re: Tree style cell organization

    How do you identify the original order? Does it say "original order" in the cell or was that just for clarification?

    Assuming there is no "original order" -text and assuming that the original order is the first one of all orders with the same name and assuming that all original orders have unique names then this formula should work:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Re: Tree style cell organization

    That certainly solves the conditional issue, thank you!

    What is this the range: "$A$9:A11" referring to? I'm stilling learning excel, so every little tip helps. Honestly it functions about as well as I would like it to, being able to collapse the original order and following rows would just be a nice bonus :P
