6:30-6:45 pm 

General Questions and Problems from the Audience
 

6:450-8:00 pm Puzzler:  and One Hour App    (*)
A Grouped and Sorted List with subtotals:  How can you maintain the grouping of the list and the subtotal calculation at the same time?

The problem (see Example).    You have a list of projects at different stages of negotiation.   Some are contracted (firm), some are High Probability, some are merely leads at low probability.    You want a list that groups by probability category and subtotals values (cost, revenue, assets, reserves) by category.

The trouble:  when a project changes categories, you want to reorder the list.    Typical formulas, however, do not sort.

So how do you "sort" a list with totals by category and preserve the formulas for totals?

(*) This time we are combining the Puzzler and One Hour App, because it is a significant project that can be done many ways.   This presentation is a live version of a white-board puzzler Steve Rasey discussed in April.

8:00-8:10 pm
