Hello, I'm new here and need some help.
I need to perform stock analysis regularly, which involves the use of files with data in multiple columns and more than 100K lines of records. To provide a better illustration of the routine tasks I perform, I've attached a file for simulation purpose. Let’s assume that one of the regular reports that I prepare is the one that summarise the stock info as shown in the worksheet titled “Report”. To prepare the report, I sort the data in the worksheet “Data” and then use Index and Match formula to extract the data (based on the conditions shown in the formula). In this example, the table in the “Report” summarises the stock info by company, item and stock location. However, not all records in the worksheet “Data” will be extracted to this report. In fact, only the top six (in terms of stock value) records that match the criteria will be extracted. For example, there are 14 records found in the worksheet “Data” that match the conditions “Item A”, “Store 1” and “ABC”. As a result of the "top six" rule, only the six records with highest stock value are displayed in the “Report”. Likewise, only 2 records are found in the worksheet “Data” that match the conditions “Item A”, “Store 3” and “ABC”. All the two are extracted and displayed in the “Report”. The number of lines to be shown in the “Report” is fixed i.e. if the number of records found with the matching criteria is less than 6, “NA” will be displayed in the “extra” lines (as displayed in the “Report” for item A stored in “Store 3” and owned by “ABC”. I hope someone could show me how to create a macro that would replace the Index and Match formula. The current method of using the Index and Match formula is just not that efficient, especially when there are thousand of stock items that need to be analysed. -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel?
