Hello guys.
I'm analyzing some unit price compositions and I need to extract labor hours, equipment hours, and materials.
Some compositions have only these 3 items, but most of them have auxiliary compositions, that sometimes have other auxiliary compositions and the process becomes recursive.
For example:
_ In 'column B' I have the code of the main composition;
_ In 'column C', I have a code for a labor, material, equipment, or other composition;
_ In 'column D', the quantity;
_ 'Column F", the types (A - equipment, B - labor; C - material, D or E - auxiliary composition).

My objective is to create a list where I have only the "main" code and the items A, B, and C. For this, the items D and E must be multiplied by the quantity from the main composition.
I thought of using 'lambda, filter, map, and others' because I know they support recursivity, but I'm not entirely familiar with them yet.
Can somebody help me?

Sorry for my English, it's not my main language.

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Hi there,
welcome to the forum. I have a hard time trying to understand what you're trying to achieve, but my first idea to put your data into a pivot table. Is that something you've tried? Next, if you look for example at line 10376: it shows column B/MAIN:0903845 , column C/AUX: E9524, column D: 1,0000 and column E: h (probably hours). What is your ideal outcome? The total of hours for E9524? Or is there another table to multiply with ("the quantity of the main composition")?
Cheers,
Koen
