Need help setting up Pivots with data already entered

[aceair]

I have a lot of data that I need combined in pivots to compare. It's difficult to explain without showing you the files. I had help from someone here (I wish I could find them) who designed a table with prices, so when I enter the data, the price automatically shows in the column. I need to combine a years worth of data (I enter data for each month or a two month period) so I can analyze different prices. For example: Last year I had set prices for 17 different items. At the end of last year, I did "X" amount of items 1,2,3... Let's say item #5 was $40.00 and item 13 was $100. I first need to combine all the data in pivots and then I need a table where I can play around the figures to see what I could have made with the different prices. I'm sorry if I'm not explaining properly.

I also need help in formatting data for print. Someone set up a template from which I do all my work on. I need help in setting up where the pages automatically print with pivots of the data and a cover sheet that shows all the data from the main sheet. As it is now, it's just one long data sheet. I can send you my data and then a sample of how the last one was formatted. You will understand completely.

I'd rather not post the data online here, but I can email you everything.

Thank you!

Hi

maybe you can post a sample stripped of confidential data? The more people are involved, how faster you will get help.

Hi,
I've added an attachment with the figures changed, but kept all formulas.

The INPUT sheet tab is where I enter all my data. It has a table at the top right with all the figures.

The next tab is the PIVOT, which I don't know how to create.

The next tab is SUMMARY BY ITEM

The next tab is FINAL FORMAT, which I need to do for my current input data, so I can print it.

The final tab is the SUMMARY.

Can you help me set this up on my own? All I have is the INPUT DATA and nothing else.

Now that you can see the formatting, I do this every month or every 2 months. I need to take an entire years data and put it together. My only concern (or, what I only need) is adding up all of items 1-17 in separate rows with the total for the year multiplied by the price in the table.

It would great in a Pivot ot I can just create a simple 17 line spreadsheet with the items and price. I want to be able to play around with the figures to see a grand total. EX: Let's say last year I did $100,000 total. $50,000 for item 5, $50,000 for item 6, etc. If I can change the price of item 5, 6.. I will be able to forecast what I will make the next year.
