    Creating a report based on a series of datasets - completely lost!

    Greetings everyone....here's my issue. I have series of data for each vacant apartment in the community I manage. My resident management software spits this excel-based 'unit pricing report' out every morning. Problem is, it is not user friendly, is difficult to read, and contains a lot of information that me and my staff don't need in the leasing process.

    So, my idea is to create a template i can copy and paste this data into each day that will reformat it into a more legible and logical manner. The number of vacant units vary from day to day so the worksheet will need to calculate this. I think this is largely where I am getting confused. I have attached what I have so far. The first worksheet is the raw data that will be "uploaded" everyday. The second is the formatting I would 'prefer' for it to have. If I'm venturing into VBA territory to solve my problem thats ok. I have some basic VB.net training, someone just let me know and I will repost this in the proper Forum section

    Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

    Hi

    macro it is. Doesn't have all of the formatting, but I think all the date is going to the right place.

    Thats killer! Thanks so much. Now I'm just trying to code in to set the column widths so that everything fits. I'm getting this: ####### in some of the cells. I can do this at the end before end sub? is it outsh.columns() ??? Also I'd like to set a page break after every 2 so that there aren't sets of data split on two pages. Would it be too complicated to set a variable and say if its even insert page break after the data has been copied? Thanks again for all your assitance. HUGE help!

    Hi

    OK, put in the column widths and some page breaks, but not sure what you are going to do about the width as it puts columns G and H onto another page. You may have to fiddle with the fit to page type options in the printing..
