Hello there everyone!

I'm in a bit of a kerfuffle... and not really sure how to go about this. I've created a workbook that multiple people will be entering data into and its going to broadcast how many of each insert we will need per month.

So right now i have a table that looks like this that has many more rows, and there will always be more and more rows being added.
The table is called "ToolingData_Table"

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: left"]

Now the tricky part is..
1) it needs to be a Macro or other means because it will be used by many people who wont have PowerPivot or any other type of add on. So it needs to be able to run on a stock 2013 Excel
2) It needs to be dynamic because the data table will continue to grow
3) the Date column needs to be an actual date so i can then use that in the pivot table ill be making with this to sort by months.

* the min and max columns will be formulas based on sum of month

Now that's just my thinking of how to tackle this in order to get a pivot table that consolidates all the inserts and will output the totals per month.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I'm not strong on creating Macros, and not sure how else to go about this.

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Sort by date Sort by votes
do you and the workers have MSACCESS, a simple front end would allow for stock ID's and dates, then from the backend you would generate your tables, with calculations by month being done in code. It could be built as a webpage (with the right skills and development software)

Click to expand...

I think we do have MSACCESS but I've never used it, and wouldn't have a clue how to set it up for this. I would be open to the idea though and can pick things up fairly quickly if it means an efficient method of being able to do this.
And i don't think a web-page would be possible lol as that's even further away from my abilities and software available.
I was hoping there would be a simple way in excel to do it with VBA but im beginning to think there isn't..

Could this be done with a INDEX/MATCH type formula perhaps for what im trying to achieve?
Or if there's any other way someone can think of, even if i have to change the format of my tables or something, as long as i can arrive at the second table format somehow.
