    Help Turning Mass of Data into Readable Format

    Hi All,

    Hope everyone is refreshed after the weekend as I am in need of some assistance.

    I have a sheet with a lot of dates along the top row with data below. I need to be able to display this data in a more useable format (like a pivot table) but cannot seem to do it.

    I have attached an example workbook.

    What I would like to do is display the figure per resource per month broken down by product. It should be relatively obvious when opening the wb.

    If anyone can help or point me onto the right track it would be much appreciated.

    Note: This does have alot of 0's at the moment but these will change over time.

    Thanks

    Dvent, I don't think you can run a pivot table off that data. It is already in a report format. In order to create a pivot table, you'd need the data in single table with columns for

    product.....resource.....date......number

    and then use one row per data item.

    What you currently have could be the outcome of a pivot table, rather than the input. You already summarize data by date and your data table is interspersed by total rows, which will not wash as a source for a pivot table.
