Macro to allocate line item data

My 'Data sheet' contains a combination of values on each row. Certain rows require special allocations, the combination of which is referenced on my 'Allocations' sheet. Certain rows are fine and should not be allocated, but merely left in its virgin state and copied over to the 'Revised Data' sheet. The revised allocated data should then be appropriately referenced on the 'Revised Data' sheet.

Appreciate any help and thank you!

If you were to unpivot your allocation sheet, you could setup a sql left join of your data and allocation sheets using MS Query in excel. Then with a simple formula in the resulting table, your could manage your allocation.

This page explains how it can be accomplished. It uses an addin to simplify the ms query sql left join stuff, but the premise is there.
