Hi Bill,
The easiest way to do this is by using the PivotTable as the below screenshot:

Haytham Amairah I am attempting to do something very similar but I am trying to match multiple columns/rows of data and bring back a sum. Example below: if A2-E2 match exactly A3-E3 then total the sum of those matching rows, which should come back as zero (8.2-8.2 or F2+F3). I put this all in a pivot but need the zeros to not show. I only need the unique row's sum, and the comment needs to show for each one. I appreciate any ideas. I have tried a calculated field in a pivot but it wont pull the comments.
Clock Last First Event Date Sum Comment 358 Smith Joe no show 2/10/2021 8.2 Test 358 Smith Joe no show 2/10/2021 -8.2 Test 358 Smith Joe no report 2/11/2021 8.2 Test 456 Smith Ted no show 02/01/2021 8.2 Test 456 Smith Ted no report 02/16/2021 -8.2 Test 456 Smith Ted no report 02/16/2021 8.2 Test 456 Smith Ted FMLA 02/15/2021 8 Test - Bill McDavidNov 16, 2018Copper Contributor
This is SO helpful! Thank you! Here is a followup question. Do you know if there is a way to automatically delete from the first sheet the rows that have an aggregate value from Column B in the summary that have a value below a certain number? For example, if the threshold is "300" would it be possible to automatically delete the source data for Jim and Joe because their aggregated column B data is less than 300. I hope that makes sense.

Hi Bill,
You can easily filter out the aggregations that don't meet certain criteria as the below screenshot:

That is also helpful but I would ideally like to delete the source data. This is because in the end I need to go back to the source data and export 1 complete record (all fields from the source data) from each record shown on the filtered summary. Ideas?
