Hello everyone,
Please help in on how to do this process: I have two lists, each has an index to sort and matching data. In the following example, WW and YY will be the sortable categories, and XX and ZZ will be the data:
WW_______XX_______YY_______ZZ
A________1________B________11
B________2________C________12
D________3________D________13
E________4________F________14
G________5________H________15
H________6________I________16
J________8________K________17
K________9________L________18
M________10_______M________19
N________11_______N________20
What I need to do, is sort it out so that the matching categories line up horizontally, and if either column is missing a category, it would leave a blank. So it would turn out something like this: (Column XX+ZZ is what I'd like to do).
WW_______XX_______YY_______ZZ________XX+ZZ
A________1___________________________1
B________2________B________11________13
__________________C________12________12
D________3________D________13________16
E________4___________________________4
__________________F________14________14
G________5___________________________5
H________6________H________15________21
__________________I________16________16
J________8___________________________8
K________9________K________17________26
__________________L________18________18
M________10_______M________19________29
N________11_______N________20________31
Right now, my process is manually inserting entire rows to make up for the missing categories (ie, C, F, I, and L from Column YY) so the data lines up nicely.
If you want to know what I'm really doing, I'm an accountant that needs to sum horizontally over 100's of accounts, so manually inserting rows just to line up data can be painstaking at times.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thank you.
