Hello Team

I'm having trouble working out the best approach to my problem. I have a raw data CSV output from our online ordering software, but it bunches all the customer order information onto one field. It's possible to use text to column to split out the items, but there are two problems to get the data automatically into the format in the attached "results" image.

1) The orders don't sit under a relevant heading
2) Orders also have a multiple next to them for how many of each item they have ordered - again this can be split out separately using text to columns, splitting on the 2x. Alternatively I thought about an approach where I am able to move the item with the multiplier under the correct column, then use the find and replace function to remove the item name leaving only the number,

You'll not in the results picture, some items are aggregated under one column, like wine and the cake. This isn't really required, it would be OK if these formed under their own single column each like the other items.

Warm regards
James

Hi James,

You could use Power Query to convert your CSV file into a "converting sheet" for your Result, I assume you download these daily for your runsheet. This allows you to save over the runsheet file that power query looks at to update your data.

The Convert sheet has the query tab for converting your CSV, then the Result tab has the format I think your looking for. This way power query can transform your data for you and your convert sheet will call the new data when refreshed.

Thanks so much RasGhul. That is perfect and totally solves the issue. I'll implement that now. I've not had much experience with power query but before I posted this message I spent a bit of time searching for an answer on the forum and see that it's a hugely powerful tool. Pretty excited to get into it!

Thanks again.
