  Hello,

It would sure help out a LOT if in the "download orders" list, you could separate
out the "Item Description" to be 3 separate columns: Type (brick, plate, tile,

This would make it MUCH easier to pivot by item number, type, color, etc.

Jeff

As an example (that should get even "Light Bluish Gray" and "Dark Red", "Trans-Black",
etc...Then I'll match the first word left for the "item type" and leave the
rest.
