Hi - apologies, I am a bit of  newbie to this.  I have a spreadsheet that has many invoice items, each row has an account number, many of which are duplicates as they are separate invoices for individual accounts.  What I want to do is create output that shows invoice rows if the amount for a particular account number exceeds a certain amount.  My spreadsheet, which has many columns, has the account number in one column and the amount they owe for each invoice in another column.  If the total exceeds a certain amount for a particular account, I would like each individual row for that account to be displayed in a separate worksheet.  Hope this makes sense, would anybody be able to help?

@Philiphall_royalmail Can you please upload some dummy data? It's easier to provide a solution when we know what you have and what the expected output is. Thanks.

Hi - thanks very much for getting back to me so quickly

 

I just want to total the amounts in Column F based on the account number in Column A.  After that, if the amount is over a certain amount, I would like all individual lines for that account number to be displayed in the output

@Philiphall_royalmail You can total the amounts in Column F while grouping by the account number in Column A using a Summarize tool. Then you can use a Filter tool to allow only records to pass where the amount is >= a certain amount. Again, with dummy data, I'd be able to show you what I'm talking about.

Please provide relevant data to this use case, and kindly provide your criteria in as much detail as possible. If you have a workflow built halfway, kindly export that over as well.

@Philiphall_royalmail appreciate your enthusiasm, but I think you marked everyone's comment as an accepted solution... before we gave you the solution... haha.

Can you please give us the data in .XLSX? You gave us a .docx document... transcribing it will take unnecessary effort to do. If you're stirct about data, you can use dummy/random data in place of real production data.

Ha ha yes, I think I have solved it.  I have got it to work using a combination of the Summarize tool, the Filter tool and the Join tool.  My data is confidential but I may well put together a smaller dummy file and get it over to you to see if this is an OK way of doing it or whether you have a better solution.  Many thanks
