    Suggestions to "Pivot Table" list of data

    Being very new to VBA, I am looking for the best method to "Pivot Table" a list of data for the following scenario

    I have a table of data that will be appended daily with several columns of data (employee name, badge #, OT for the day (in hours)). I need a way at the end of the pay period to "pivot table" the data so I end up with a single entry list with each employee's total OT.

    I could use a pivot table and try to find a way to export the varying data range each time or I have a formula which after sorting the list so similar names are continuous will give a total on the last line for the each employee. Then I would have to try to remove the empty lines to leave a single entry for each employee.

    I am looking for the best way to handle this. This will be used by an very inexperienced Excel user and I would like to automate the process via button click.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Hope everyone is staying safe.

    I figured out how to handle this situation.
    Thanks and stay safe.

    Hi RonnG and welcome to the forum,

    If you or the other users have a newer version of excel, it has made the Slicer Tool just for you. Search for "Excel Pivot Slicer" and watch a few of the videos. If you can't upgrade then VBA may be the way to go. It would be better to upgrade and get the tool with a newer version of Excel, in my humble opinion.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Thanks for the suggestion Marvin. I am using slicers in other worksheets when I need to do quick data mining.

    For this use, I will ultimately need a list (possibly a csv file) of each employee with their total OT for the pay period that will be uploaded into an external paycheck service. The person doing this intermediate process is not a real Excel user so I was hoping to have this automated as much as possible. From some of the playing around I have done, this should take seconds for Excel to do and should be 100% accurate if the formulas and process are correct.
