Eqa33 OK, but this looks totally different from what you uploaded earlier. I had hoped for some consistent structure but can't discover it. Sorry!
Please let me know what the end result should look like and the logic behind it. And perhaps also good if you upload the PDF itself (i.e. the file Winners Oct 22.pdf)
- Eqa33Brass ContributorI want to take the PDF and create a pivot table that can be added to weekly so that I have a running history of the sales of each style rather than a weekly snapshot that doesn't really allow me to see sales week by week, month by month etc.

Eqa33 The PDF cleared up matters. The file contains 8 tables. The last three are inconsistent with the first 5. Some of the "header" rows have the 6xxx number combined with the [image] (see picture below)
This is really messing up the entire process, so I took these last three tables out. The other 5 tables neatly transform into the kind of table that you need. See if you can do something about the PDF files so that these odd cells like in the picture do not occur.
See attached. Just point the Source to the PDF on your own system.

Riny_van_Eekelen It looks different because I had started to clean it up and then got stuck.
