    parsing erratic date related data into a daily table

    Hey all-

    What is the most straight forward method of parsing nonconsecutive date related data such as:

    | weight |
    6/10/2002 16.3
    6/11/2002 12.2
    6/12/2002 67.3
    6/19/2002 34.2
    6/24/2002 2.1
    6/25/2002 23.8

    Into a table that has a record for every day such as:
    | 2000 | 2001 | 2002
    6/10 23.2 14.2
    6/11 34.5
    6/12 78.2 31.7
    6/13 67.3
    6/14 99.6 34.3
    6/16
    6/17 29.5 45.3
    6/18 1.2 1.6
    6/19 67.3 87.3
    (...etc.)

    with 2002 being the target column for the weight data from the first table.

    My inclination is to do something with a Match:Index function...is this way too complicated? Thanks in advance for wisdom and insight.
