Hello All,

Let me start by saying I tried to search the forums for this but I know excel but not all the lingo associated with it. Up until now I just used excel for the basic, now with my new job I am using Vlookups and realize that we can use some macros for the day to day tedious stuff.

I have a report that I have to manipulate every two weeks. The movement of the information is the same but the data in the columns changes based on some reports have more data and some have less, so the column can change from report to report. I was told that I could probably use headers but I am not sure what the code looks like or how to do it.

I have another report that I sort by 3 different filters to create 3 separate reports (Pay Rate, Hire Date, and Termination Date). I filter the report by Pay Rate but from what I can tell the macro recorded the actual amounts for the various rates. I just want it to look at all rates. How do I get it to look at all the rates? The same goes for the other filter option. I need the macro to look at all the information in the filter and not specific rates or dates.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

Hello and welcome!

I would suggest drawing two tables here on the post with the available tools and show us a "what you currently have" and a "what you would like to have" and we can go from there

visuals win over everything!
