Excel spreadsheet to compare resorts

So, I created an excel spreadsheet that (pat on back) I think is pretty cool. Basically, it has one worksheet where I can list up to 15 resorts that we considering and check columns for items that are important to us. On that sheet, I can also put in the price of the package that most interests us.

Then, there are worksheets included that list specific a la carte items. For every resort I've named on the first page of the spreadsheet, that resort name will populate to the appropriate worksheet that itemizes the a la carte items. I can enter the price of the item and quantity and it totals the amount for me (with subtotals for each category and a final total estimate). The final "total" for the estimate then automatically logs itself into the main page of the worksheet where I'm listing all the resorts and features.

Hopefully, that doesn't sound too confusing. But basically, I have this at home and if anyone wants a copy, let me know and I'll post it....

I would love a copy of this too shandrarogers1614@hotmail.com (I didnt see it posted on this thread). Thanks.

What a great idea! I'd love a copy of your spreadsheet too if that's okay! I'll most likely be unable to do a site visit thanks to my job schedule so I think this will definitely help.
