Hello,

...and my thanks to the group that, like others on the Web, provides a valuable service to those of us who are not terribly adept at figuring things out for ourselves.

Specifically, I use a number of MS Office applications in my technical development/writing work, but not Excel. However, realizing the power available, I had a family member set up a Bill of Materials for me in Excel, which really facilitates purchasing and organizing production runs. I don't understand Excel myself, but am able to use the template that was set up for me, make changes in the various fields and use Excel for keeping track of inventory, etc.

Now my question. Is it possible to have Excel export data for printing labels, item-by-item, showing the item number, a description of that line item, where the item is used and the total quantity? Ideally the printout could be set up for a Brady or other off-the-shelf sticky label.

This seems like a 'natural' use for Excel, and if there's applicable software already out there, I'd get it. But before I ask this family member for help, I'd at least like to know if this is possible and how difficult it would be. If creating a usable routine is out of her league I'd try to find someone who'd be willing to set something up at modest cost. I'd be happy to share my database, along with an example of what's needed, if this already hasn't been done.

Many thanks!
