Hi, I'm looking to create a from by typing in the reg and it pulling through the data from the data tab. I've tried this as a VLookup but it only pulls through the first line and there may be more than one line under each reg for repair history. I tried doing this as a pivot table, but I don't like the layout of it and wanted to be able to type in a reg and it search for the data rather than filtering. I've tried a combination of both by creating a macro to copy the data from cell A1, refresh the data in the pivot table, filtering by pasting the results from A1 then copying the relevant data I require onto the form tab. It works, but when I change the reg it remembers the actual reg text from the macro rather than the act of copying and pasting the data in A1 from the form. Can you help me please?

Looking to create a dynamic chart of monthly sales by product and sales representative. Please advise on how to search the chart for the current month and total. The spreadsheets will be updated weekly with updated sales totals. How do I create a formula that will read the Date Field and return the corresponding total?

Looking to create a dynamic chart of monthly sales by product and sales representative. Please advise on how to search the chart for the current month and total. The spreadsheets will be updated weekly with updated sales totals. Sheet will display our different products and sales by the representative. How do I create a formula that will read the Date Field in the product spreadsheet and return the corresponding total for the representative? On December 1st the spreadsheet will be updated with new sales totals. The chart will look for the matching month. In this case is December 2017. The formula will return the total for one sales representative. When the spreadsheet is updated on Dec 7th the chart will update the total.

I want to search a symbol within the string but I want the search to start on the right side to find the first symbol coming from the right rather than the left. For example, within the string FRA148982|223.00||00|223.00 I want to extract the 223.00. However within the data set everything is inconsistent.
