Hi, I am working on an excel sheet and need some help.
I have data in the format of the table below. I have only shown 2 examples of the data, but I have 15+ various line items which all have different work items, descriptions, work orders, completion dates, etc.
Table 1

I need to sort the data in various methods to include the actual cost based on car, location, type, etc. I believe pivot tables is the best tool to use to analyze the data. However, with pivot tables, I've found I need all of the data on 1 line like shown below.

I will collect all future data based on Table 2; however, I need to display the data in a format like Table 1.
I tried using VLookUp and the Match/index functions above, but I could not get it to work correctly.
Any help/ideas/etc? I would greatly appreciate it!
