Retrieve, manipulate and update list


Posted by Sam on February 06, 2002 3:42 PM

I have read with interest postings on this message board hopefully I am in the right place for some guidance.
I am trying to retrieve, say costs to date for a project from a data list, idealy within Excel and after further calculation I am looking to update the costs to date within the data list.
I have looked at LOOKUP and even Advanced Filter but the final updating of the original costs currently escapes me. I would welcome any help or pointers as to where I should be heading.
Thanking you in anticipation

Update the list by extending it -- not by changing existing values...

And, use a PivotTable to calculate 'costs to date'.
