Good day!
I've been charged with a task I've never really had to tackle on such a scale before. Basically I have to organize weekly sales data in a manner in which stock variations are easily resumed.
So, every week ''my company'' recieves a rundown of my product sales from each and every store in which they are sold and each and every product that I sell the store. So, I receive an excel file of some 3000 rows and 15 or so columns with various data. I've ''developed'' a macro to get rid of the many rows where sales are ''0'' and get rid of the columns which I don't need. All said, I usually have around 400 rows and 7 columns: Fiscal week, Store Name, Store Number, SKU Desc, VPN, Reg. Sales $, Reg. Sales Units.
Right, I've prepared a pivot table which nicely resumes everything. However, my ''boss'' wants to have the excel tell him stock levels once he imports the fresh weekly data.
How do I start organizing things? I have probably 100 stores, multiple stores in some cities ('store name'=city), 30 or so products. What is the most straight-forward way of creating this? Tabs for each city with an initial stock level (something not yet created) and then using vlookup to control levels...
So as of now I have one tab with weekly data from the past 10 weeks and in another a pivot table that nicely resumes things...
Anyhelp would be great, if it's of use I'm using excel 2007
