Ah, it was a weird week last week, and I actually wasn't at my desk that often.
You know what I need help with? Making an inventory spreadsheet for merchandise that I am in charge of. I need to know what we have in stock, what goes out, and when it was sent. I also put the name of the person who ordered it. The price isn't important, what I'm trying to see instantly is how much we have left and what we've sent out each week.
Make sense?
Can you make up a bogus sampling of what data would be in the sheet? Sounds like a simple pivot table might do most of what you are needing.
