Customer Question

I have expense data from my credit card statements that I have scanned and imported into rows and columns into Microsoft Excel 2003. The data shows the date I made the purchase, who/what I paid (e.g. Mortgage, Allstate Car Insurance, Wendys, etc…), where the payment was made (what State), and how much I paid / the dollar amount of the expense.. I have about 500 rows of data for the year 2011 (per credit card) with the following column headings:
 Date purchased
 Name of vendor / person
 Location (State of purchase)
 Dollar Amount of purchase

Now, I want to take that data (about 500 rows) and combine it into logical categories. So for example, if I purchased meals at Wendys, Outback, and The Pancake House, I want to have those purchases show under the “Restaurants” category. Instead of having a category (column) per name of each restaurant, I want to combine that data under one logical category (column) called e.g. “Restaurant”.

I have about 30 of these categories (e.g. Restaurants, Health Insurance, Travel, House Utilities (gas, electric, water), etc…). So now I want those 500 rows of raw data to be consolidated to a smaller number of rows on a separate (2nd) tab on my spreadsheet.

And I want the data by week (week 1, week 2, week 52) based on the date of purchase on the credit card statement.

For example, If I made 5 purchases of meals at Wendys’ and 5 purchases of meals at The Pancake House in week 1 of 2011 that totaled $120, I want to show one (1) row that represents those 10 purchases (5 + 5) under the column Restaurants for week 1 with a dollar amount of $120. I want to do this for each week in the year. I want to have the sum of the dollar amount spent per week (row) / category (column)

I want to have a sum of each row (each week) – in the last column called “TOTAL”. I want to have a sum of each column category (e.g. how much money did I spend on the mortgage in 2011 or how much I spent on restaurants). I want this in the last row called “TOTALS”.

I need the output as an excel spreadsheet with the ability to save as a comma delimited file.

Date Restaurants- Mortgage- Utilities- Cat X- TOTAL
-----------------------------------------------------------
Week 1 – $120 Total $
Week 2 – $90 $250 Total $
Week 3 – $50 Total $
Week 4 - $175 $1,000 Total $
Week x - $ Total $

TOTALS $$sum above $$sum above $$sum above TOTAL $


How can I do this in Microsoft Excel 2003?
