Fill spots automatically based on provided data

Hello,

I scrolled passed this forum for some time, looking for tips and tricks. Unfortunately, I could not find exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to open this thread.

I am looking for a more straightforward solution in Excel to fill a spreadsheet, automated preferably.

I can't post links as I am a new member. I can easily explain.

Spot 1 Spot 5
Spot 2 Spot 6
Spot 3 Spot 7
Spot 4 Spot 8

Its 8 spots, and all need to be filled. The data I want to fill it with comes in as "Bill DPS 1500" or "BILL SUPP 1500".

The only thing that actually matters is the DPS and SUPP. There is only room for 2 SUPPS and the rest of the DPS goes into the other 6 available spots.

I can provide the data in anyway that's needed to make it automated. Are there any addons or ways to do this? this would save me 10-15 hours every week. It would quite literally be life changing.

Thank you before hand.

Is it common to hire someone to set up a functioning excel for this type of work? Cause it seems to be quite a lot of work

You can not post LINKS... but you can post a sample Excel file. See the yellow banner (top) and upload one that meets our guidelines.

Hi. Before we get going on this one...

Is your forum profile showing the Excel PRODUCT that you need this request to work with?

The best solutions often rely on knowing WHICH Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File/Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this.

The three most recent Excel PRODUCTS are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the Version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 (PC) Version 2211). The version number is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

Cheers,

Glenn.

So, to get the ball rolling... does this do what you want, or not? If you change the number in the purple cell (any number<1,000,000), the values update. It's pseudorandom, however. Every time you choose (say) 22 - it will give the same answer.

If it IS what you want, I can explain.

Well, did it do the job, or not??

HELP!!

You need to be more specific... sheet & cell references... expected results... I look at these sheets and I don't see ANYTHING familiar from your original sample sheet!
