Create list from Table (Item and Quantity)

[erice]

Hello,

I am looking for a solution to take the items in my Daily_QTY table and convert it to a list in my Sequence Table. In this workbook someone will enter the Quantity (QTY) of each item into the Daily_QTY table. I would like to be able to run a macro to take the Item and QTY information from that table to create a list in the Sequence table. I am doing this manually now, but as the #of items is growing I would like to find an automated solution. Below is a picture of the desired results.

I prefer to use Power Query to do this.

Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.

You can extract the list with a formula … but you can't put it in a Structured Table.

or:

=TEXTSPLIT(CONCAT(REPT(Daily_QTY[Item]&",",Daily_QTY[Qty])),,",",1)

of (with header):

=VSTACK("Item",TEXTSPLIT(CONCAT(REPT(Daily_QTY[Item]&",",Daily_QTY[Qty])),,",",1))
