    Sorting data for different views (loss of words for this title)

    I wish I knew how to better describe what I'm trying to do lol.

    I'll make the example easy to follow (I hope)

    I have a workbook. Each sheet is labeled with a week. 07.15.13, 07.08.13 etc etc.

    Within each week I have multiple sources of revenue so I break down by the day. It looks like this:

    I have different formats such as Sports, News, Political, etc. and sources for each format, ESPN, CNN, MSNBC etc etc.

    I then have a master sheet at the end which I use a Vlookup formula incorporating the indirect function in order to search via source and via date. The formula looks like this:

    VLOOKUP($A$38,INDIRECT("'"&A42 & "'!$A$20:$C$10000"),3,FALSE)
    A38 being the source
    A42 being the date

    This gives me a simple week by week comparison for each source like below:

    http://screencast.com/t/Wwb9T0FLpHd5

    What I'm trying to do on a new sheet is compile the data in multiple different ways. For example, I want to see how well the different formats did. So yeah, I could copy paste all the different formats by weeks together, and sum it, get my breakdowns like that but if I can somehow pull the data into a chart that would be much easier as I can sort it the way I need it.

    Thanks in advance for any tips!

    In my mind, I think because of the way I label my data (basically above the header columns) I may need to do another vlookup on another sheet to organize the data in a way that I can set up a pivot table.
