Your question is more intriguing to me than the predictability of the dropped
LEGO coming to rest. It goes to our nature. Which I believe is the among the
last things we'll come to fully understand, ourselves

I drop a
 
Part No: 3001  Name: Brick 2 x 4
* 
3001 Brick 2 x 4
Parts: Brick {Green}
on the floor it slides under the table between two stacks
of shoeboxes and becomes invisible without the use of a flashlight.

Then I drop a
 
Part No: 98138  Name: Tile, Round 1 x 1
* 
98138 Tile, Round 1 x 1
Parts: Tile, Round {Green}
it lands on its edge and stays right where it landed,
easy to pick up.

I don't know why.

AAAAAAhhhhhh.... Ah ha! I was using hotkeys, not the "copy values from
document" in the menu.

That did the trick, thank you so much!

The trick with BrickStore, like many applications you discover: do NOT try it
on production, but use silly files or imaginary examples (I would part this out,
I would have those parts...), and try EVERY menu and field and function. Just
practice on dummy cases and files to figure out what will help you in production

Upload the 4x, tada

I think I stopped trying the cut and paste a few versions ago when something
went horribly wrong. Despite highlighting the entire column when I pasted whatever
data I wanted copied it applied the first value only to all 900 lots. I'll
try it again when I get home.

I just tried, it works.

But you've to start form the 4x set list, select the 5x list as the source,
ignore everything BUT price.

Works in 1 click.


PS: you don't have to select anything anywhere.

It'll copy the values you ask, to all lots of the target document that exist
in the source document.

Just try on a throwable document with prices like $1 $2 $3 or such easy to check.

It's not the end of the world if it's too much of a PITA.

HA! I don't know why I'm so obsessed with it.

Copy all the items you need to subtract to a new file, divide by 5, multiply
by -1, then copy/paste (merge all) with your other document set to existing lot
and ignore all.

Quantities?
You can set them up, multiply or divide.
You COULD multiply them by 100 then divide them by 80 or such.
But it won't work because some divisions won't provide integer results...
And this is an hazardous way to proceed.

Instead:
* keep the file with the 5x sets and the price you set
* make another one with 4x the sets
* use Edit/Copy values from the 5x sets, to the 4x sets, and copy the prices
only

Upload the 4x, tada

it and then messaged asking to hold of on picking the order since they might
add more

Fair enough, no problem - I cancelled the order.

Today had a message from the "Buyer" to say I had sent them a wrong part
- black instead of dark Bluish Grey.

Good try - but no cigar

Have to be alert in this game !!

I haven't had this, but I have had someone chase me that their parts haven't
arrived yet before they had paid me for them.
