Hi all

I have been developing a spreadsheet for our planning team, which is almost as we want it. However I am struggling on finer points of the final layout.

The raw data is imported from an ERP system via SQL into a table in Excel. The data table has 16 columns of elements such as Product name and description, order number, production resource start date, quantity etc.
As part of the import procedure, I pre sort the data before writing into the spreadsheet by the following:-
Production resource (Unit) - Start Date - Item description (A-Z)

The data is then read into the spreadsheet to look something like below

My problem is highlighted on the above view where Production line 2 I have 2 products repeated in the rows.
If I remove the start date from the sort sequence, this now brings all the orders across the days onto the same product description however now I no longer get the logical sequence of first product on a monday etc. Below is the result of removing the Start Date from the sort sequence

My Ideal layout would be as below:

The code I am using to read in the data onto the spreadsheet is as follow:

Public Sub Populate()

Dim wbkReference As Workbook
Dim lws As Worksheet
Dim lsLine As String ' Production line code
Dim PrvlsLine As String ' Previous Production line code
Dim lsInputLine As String ' A Line from the data file
Dim lsProductCode As String ' Product code of current run
Dim PrvlsProductCode As String ' Previous Product code of current run
Dim lnMins As Variant ' Run length in Minutes
Dim lsProductName As String ' Product name at start of run
Dim lnQuantity As Variant ' Quantity produced (Cases) may be null if size change
Dim lnLandedQuant As Variant
Dim lsOrderNum As String ' Product code of current run
Dim lsDayOfWeek As String
Dim lsAllergens As String
Dim lsComments As String
Dim lcCount As Integer
Dim OverallLastRow As Long

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Not quite sure this will help, but my instinct would be to import the data via Powerquery and then display it with PowerPivot, if it works it will be easier to maintain and simpler to build. But without raw data I'm not sure.

Hi Peter

Thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately the file will be made available for all employees on a shared drive. I would not be able to manage access and support for using advanced tools such as PowerPivot, it is not with the company policy to roll out the more advanced tools.
The macro and formatting works well, its just the minor things such as above I need to nail.

:) I've worked for a large company where IT don't understand what they're managing. Neither PowerPivot nor PowerQuery are really advanced tools, they're simply the next generation of Excel and link into PowerBI - a game changer and money saver for most organisations!! Apologies, but I hope someone else can assist with modifying your code. Good Luck.
