I am trying to sort through some information I have received from my company. It is a list of menu entree items. I am unable to sort the list becuase it would complete mess up the way they have it set up (Headers, formats, etc)
I am trying to make the whole thing easier for my managers. I want to be able to type in the reciepe number and be able to retrieve the name, portion cost, etc. I have used sumif for the needed numbers, but I am unable to get the text fields that I need.
I believe the different lookups require the data to be sorted. How do I get around it? I would like to be able to use a function like sumif but for text instead of numbers.
Thanks,
Jim
