Hi: would appreciate some help as I'm affraid I'm still just a beginner.

I have three fields:

Part No.

Bin No.

Sub-bin No.

Parts go into bins

this is an existing spreadsheet we inherited from a parts supplier that went out of business.

We want to figure out if a Part No. is assigned to more than one Bin No. and/or more than one Sub-bin No.

There are 1.6 million parts, 58 Bins, 1142 Sub-bins. all irrelevant...but you get the idea of what we're trying to do.

bins and sub-bins are numeric and part numbers are alpha numeric.

Thanks!!

Hi,

One way is to create a new DB with 2 table that hold info from your current inventory table and the other (table 2) holds the EXCEL info.

Create a relationship between the 2 table using PART NO and then from table 2 (The Excel table) create a LIST layout that has both tables on it in LIST form and you will see what parts are in what BINS from the perspective of the EXCEL file.
