I am working on a multipage excel workbook for creating cutlists for the cabinet door industry. I have reached a stumbling block that I can't seem to think my way around. I want to create a macro which will take the automatically generated values in a number of cells, combine ones with identical values while summing the total number of parts that size and type, and then sort the list in order of size. The second problem is an easy one I know but I can't figure out if the first one is possible to achieve.
it would be listed like this:
# size type
4 135 rail
2 710 stile
6 135 rail
12 710 stile
4 135 stile
I would like it automatically to combine the values to list them like this:
# size type
14 710 stile
10 135 rail
4 135 stile
Any help? This workbook will be used to enter our orders to create production cutlists. It will enter many orders daily, as such the time required in data entry is a concern. So far all of the values are figured automatically based on the entry for a given door size requiring no extra calculations. I would like to keep it that way if possible using a custom macro or by purchasing an add-on.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
