    Table of data to format out

    Hi Guys and Gals, new here so go easy on me. I'm an sql monkey really but am stuck with doing something with that output in a spreadsheet.

    My data is a plain table with a dynamic number of columns from my sql data source. I need to take this and return it into a seperate sheet so I can format it, I need to group it by my week commencing date already in the data set, then return however many rows belonging to it.

    Help please

    It would help if you attached a sample workbook, showing before and after sheets - the FAQ describes how to attach a file to one of your posts.

    I've just attached a sample. The view sheet shows what I want, the InputData shows how it arrives.

    Thanks

    I did look at pivots however my table is around 30 columns wide and I don't want to go down the route of lots of + - symbols etc and want quite a clean output. Do you think this is possible?

    What do you mean with a lean output?

    I don't want to go down the route of lots of + - symbols?

    What information is in the other 30 columns (since they are not in the added example)?

    Hi clean, just not full of + -
    The other columns are all just text data and some aggregated in the data set already

    Hi clean, just not full of + -

    Where do you see the +- in the pivot table?

    You also did not tell us what you want to do with the information in the other columns.
