You might have a look at this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo0GoudZ01M No association with the user. Note that he uses the term Data Pilot instead of Pivot Table, but they are essentially the same thing. Earlier versions of LibreOffice used Data Pilot as the term for Pivot Table.

That could provide a total for both number (of purchases) and total of "price" if set up correctly. Maybe I'm missing something here though.

Dang, I hate the new list behavior of replying to the sender instead of the list. Can't that be changed back? My reply below, sent only to Alan B by mistake.

How do I total the amount of a buyer's purchase "on the fly", so-to-speak? Have labels at the top of each column such as Buyer and Price. Once you're ready to get your totals by buyer 1) sort by buyer as you intend 2) select the entire data range including the column labels 3) from the menu select "Data | Subtotals..." 4) in the Subtotals dialog box make sure the "Group by" option is "Buyer" 5) tick the "Price" check box in the "Calculate subtotals for" list 6) confirm "Sum" is the selected function in the "Use function" list 7) click the "OK" button You'll be back to your spreadsheet with subtotals for each Buyer inserted. Plus to the left of the row numbers you'll see outline features that allow hiding and showing the various subtotaled rows. -Alan -- Carl Paulsen Dover, NH 03820 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
