    Hiding Cells...

    Hello All,

    I am relatively new to Excel beyond very basic formulas and I wanted to see if you guys could help me get what seems like a fairly easy question answered. (I stole the current formulas from what a previous manager used for a different sheet if you're curious as to how I even got to the point I did). What I have now is the far Lane in the "Data" sheet coordinating to the "Cooler Outline" sheet. When I put a number in the "Lane #" column it shows up with the desired information in the "Cooler Outline." My only problem is all the blanks. I'd love to have it so any of the empty rows or even columns that aren't filled get sorted out. I tried to use a table to do this but the way the info is I couldn't figure how to do this... All the info I tried to pull had me deleting blanks or trying to get rid of every blank one but the work space. Any help is appreciated!

    Best,
    Jake

    Re: Hiding Cells...

    I attacked this problem with pivot tables.

    First I converted the data on the data sheet to an Excel table and I added a helper column that checks to see if the Lane # cell is blank.

    I then used this table as the data source for the pivot table on the Pivot 1 sheet. This pivot table gets the lane number, quantity, customer and comp where the lane number is not blank.

    I then used this pivot table as a data source for a second pivot table. First I had to overlay it with a named dynamic range: Lane_Data =OFFSET('Pivot 1'!$A$3,0,0,COUNTA('Pivot 1'!$A:$A)-1,4).

    Then I could use Lane_Data as the source for the second pivot table.

    To get an understanding of named dynamic ranges, see this article: http://www.utteraccess.com/wiki/inde...Dynamic_Ranges.

    The second pivot table takes the right data (on Pivot 1) and formats it into the right format (on Pivot 2).

    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    Re: Hiding Cells...

    Thanks for your help dflack! But I'd really like the info to work in the Cooler Outline Sheet, rather than have two other sheets. Is this possible? All I need is to be able to hide the unused cells and columns in Cooler Outline.

    Thanks again!
    Jake
