if statement" desperate insight is needed!!!!!! IF,Count, DCOUNT
AHHHGGGGGGG!

Good Evening,

I am having difficulty writing an If statement on my spreadsheet. What
I did was I have 2 spreadsheets that the first one has a master lister
of data. It is sorted by the following:
Sheet #1 has the following
Date, File Number, "Orgin", Name, Number of QTY

What I am trying to do is to create I think If statements and counts to
pull this data from date ranges and list is out on a second excel
spreadsheet. Idealy this is what I want to accomplish.

Sheet #2

Week Ending
October 8th
Orgin and date are the key becasue I want it sorted by this.

A count of the files in the date range (Say Oct 1st - Oct 8th) filter
out duplicates) then the same for say Oct 9th-Oct 16th, Oct 17th-23rd
and so on. 2 packets of results for each orgin A & B.

Same for a count of the names in that period of time. Now I don't need
to eliminate duplicates for the names becuase some files have multiple
names

An add of the number of qty.

So I am trying to get my output to look like this.

Week ending
October 8th
Orgin:A (its either going to be orgin A or B
Number of files: 10 count without duplicates)
Number of names: 15 (count with duplicates)
Number of QTY 123 (sum)

October 8th

Orgin B
Number of files: 12
number of names 20
number of QTY 150

October 15 (same format as the 8th and so on)

Orgin A:

If anyone knows how I can even get started on this, I would be very
greatful. I have read alot on the IF statement, Count, DCOUNT and I am
getting lost!!!!!

I think you could use the SUMPRODUCT function, but I'm not sure because here
is too late...

(I'm not sure of names of menus, options and commands, because
translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
