I'm using this workbook to generate a forcasted weight breakdown for heavy machinery. The idea behind it is to be able to add a new machine to the spreadsheet, select from a list which parts and options it will have equipped, and then be able to view an organized breakdown by part/option category how much the total machine weighs, and then be able to add/remove parts until the desired weight is achieved. So far the workbook break down by sheet is:
1) List of Parts and options with their respective weight data and category
2) Table of Parts/options vs. Each machine
3) A pivot table summarizing all this to provide a weight
4) Table containing all the part categories
Currently the pivot table is summarizing the entire parts/options list. What I can't find a way to do is get the table to display and summarize only the parts that are checked-off in a specific machine's column. I was hoping I could then modify the pivot table to allow me to "pivot" it to whatever machine I wished to look at, and it would display and summarize only that machines equipped parts. Either this, or have a new table auto-generated on a different sheet for each machine that's added.
Anyone have any ideas?
