Access can do it, fer sure. So long as you don't need to collaborate with anyone, then that would be the easiest way. Overkill, as Arvi said earlier.
Many thanks everyone for your help with this, I really appreciate it. I have learnt so much on both Excel and Access.

Just need to work out for myself the best way of doing things.

Thanks again.

If you want to avoid Access I would propose that you post a Excel sheet with a reasonable quantity of data and (manually entered) examples of expected results.

Maybe it is not possible in Excel but let it depend on trial.

I have now been playing with pivot table for a week and have virtually got it exactly how i want it.

If only I had learned about PT's years ago!!

One thing I am unable to do is to have a value field in between 2 Row fields.

ie my columns are

Venue - Capacity - Next Date - Note - and Max of Date 4 x Row Field and 1 Value Field

The Max of date obviously returns the last date played at a particular gig.

However, I want this column to be after the Capacity Column and the Next Date and Note to be at the end of the row like this

Venue - Capacity - Max of Date - Next Date - Note 2

That is 2 x Row Field - 1 Value Field - 2 x Row Field

Can this be achieved.

Many thanks Rob
