I'm a mere mortal so I come to the excel gods for help!... please help
me I have about 9k+ rows of the following:

A........................................B
Mobile Device : 102

Summary
Total time...................13D:0H:0M
Total travel time.........8H:59M
Total distance (miles)....179
Number of stops.............39
Total stop time........... 12D:5H:0M

A...................B.............C...........D...............E..........F.............G
date...........time.........speed....duration..distance..county..vh
id#
1/1/04..1:00 PM(EST)..35.........0H:15M....15..........Wch.......102

I need to extract some of the data in the above workbook and
transferred to another workbook.

This is the 6 tasks I need to accomplish:

1) Either copy/paste the "Number of stops" '39' for vehicle 102 from
the summary box... or....look in column D for any 'not empty' cells in
which column G contains '102' and count them, which should result in
'39' as well.

2) Either copy/paste the "Total distance (miles)" '179' from the
summary box above... or...look in column E for any values in which
column G contains '102' and add them all up. Result should be '179.3'
(the number is rounded in the summary box)

3) copy/paste from the summary box "Total travel time"

4) copy/paste from the summary box "Total stop time"

5) Look in column C for any values = or > than 70 and count them in
which column G contains vehicle '102'.

6) Look in column B for any time between 12:00 AM(EST) and 5:00 AM(EST)
and count them in which column G contains vehicle '102'.

I know this is a lot to ask from a newsgroup... but I have learned in
the past that is better to let your helpers know all the details and
requirements to avoid wasting time coming back for more solutions.

Hi
you may use SUMPRODUCT for all of your tasks. Try
1. =SUMPRODUCT(--(D1:D10000<>""),--(G1:G10000=102))

2. =SUMPRODUCT(--(D1:D10000<>""),--(G1:G10000=102),E1:E10000)

3. / 4. not sure how you calculate these values

5. =SUMPRODUCT(--(D1:D10000<>""),--(G1:G10000=102),--(C1:C10000>=70))

6. Did you mean 5 pm?
=SUMPRODUCT(--(D1:D10000<>""),--(G1:G10000=102),--(B1:B10000>=12/24),--
(B1:B10000<=17/24))

Note: I'm not sure why you have summary and detal information in ONE
worksheet. Consider the following:
- have all your detail in only one sheet in a database like structure
- try using pivot tables for this kind of summary reports on a separate
sheet
 
Thanks Frank! I kind of knew you were going to be the one to respond..
no surprises... but very grateful thanks!

Yes I meant 5:00 AM(EST)

I guess for 3 and 4 I will need VBA.

The numbers are generated tru a vehicle GPS tracking system... th
company responsible for this service emails this report on a biweekl
basis in xls format.

I included the 1st 500 rows of the report since i can really attac
large files in this newsgroup. I will be sending the new workbook
want to add the new numbers in.

Hi
to be honest: Ask the service company for a report with the raw data
(should be no problem for them). Otherwise you'll need VBA for this
 
Hi
just as an addition. Try the following formulas:
3. total trave time: enter the array formula (with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
=OFFSET($B$1,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(FIND("102",$A$1:$A$10000)),0)+3,0)

4. total stop time: enter the array formula (with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
=OFFSET($B$1,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(FIND("102",$A$1:$A$10000)),0)+6,0)
 
That's exactly what I told my hard head management team. They asked fo
this kind of report and they're still with their mouths open when th
service company demanded the $$ for this task. So they did the nex
best thing, they dumped it on me, the new guy (5 months in this smal
company). :(

So I have to make the most of it. I'm practicly against the wall o
this one. And they have no plans to raise the peanuts of a salary
get. So my plan is to establish some solid work before I go into m
boss office and demand a raise.

Correction:
Sorry!!!
For task #2 I dont need to sum but I need the function to look for th
largest value in column E... where column G is '102'.

Best to have a contingency plan for when your "demand" is turned down<g>

Sometimes those "hard heads" are exactly that.
