Hello,

I am attempting to generate an organized list of all entries from multiple sheets which have a date, description, cost, category, and subcategory. I am looking to have them sorted by date based upon their category and then their subcategory, and to display the original date, description, and cost of the data which belongs to the particular category and subcategory. I have three (3) worksheets for this example: Worksheet #1 : (Month 1 Summary), Worksheet #2 : (Month 2 Summary), and Worksheet #3 (Category Summary). Worksheets #1 and #2 are how the data is currently organized, and Worksheet #3 is the desired result. I am assuming that the header for "Month" begins in cell B3. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Mick,

I noticed where the original problem is. I'm still relatively new to VBA. If I want the original table that you posted on sheets "Month 1 Summary" and "Month 2 Summary" to begin on cell E5, what has to change?

Try changing the lines below to reflect a starting point of "E5"
Code: 
[COLOR=#000080]With[/COLOR] Sheets("Month 1 Summary")
    [COLOR=navy]Set[/COLOR] Rng1 = .Range[B][COLOR=#FF0000]("E5", [/COLOR][/B].Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
[COLOR=navy]End[/COLOR] With
[COLOR=navy]With[/COLOR] Sheets("Month 2 Summary")
    [COLOR=navy]Set[/COLOR] Rng2 = .Range[B][COLOR=#FF0000]("E5", [/COLOR][/B].Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
[COLOR=navy]End[/COLOR] With
