Thanks for clarification. I see now that did not understand what you wanted
to do.

I'm sorry that I can't help you with your problem. My advice to you if you
don't get any help is to repost your problem in 3 to 4 days describing in
detail what you want to do.

A cople of quick questions. The date column in the "Q1" is this dayly basis?
I.e first date column is July 14th, the next July 15th and so forth or is it
done in some other formate?

After a year do you plan to uppdate "Q1" with "new" data or are you adding a
new sheet?

Alf,

Thanks for your reply. Not quite sure I understand your recommendations
because I am VERY new to Excel.

Let me clarify how the database is set up. Currently, there are 5
worksheets. The first is a "Year-to-Date". The next four worksheets are
for
each quarter "Qtr1" "Qtr2" "Qtr3" and "Qtr4".

The policy is going to begin July 14th, so in Qtr1 worksheet, it begins on
July 14th and goes until October 13th. Qtr2 worksheet begins with October
14th and goes until Jan 13th. I have my dates going across the top, and
the
employee names going down the side. The "Year-to-Date" worksheet sums up
the
four quarters.

So my question is whether or not I'll be able to sum absences for a 12
month
basis. So in July of 2006, the number of absences from June 05 would not
be
counted. Similarly, in August of 2006, the number of absences from July 05
would not be counted.

Does this make sense?

Thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to give.

Not sure I understood your problem righ but perhaps you could do
something
like this.

Sub Auto_Open()

'
Dim i As Integer
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For i = Sheets.Count To 12 Step -1

If i 13 Then
Sheets(i).Delete
End If
Next i
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

This assumes that the oldest sheet is the last one in the row of sheets.

I am creating an attendance database for my company.

There are 19 different departments in the company and each manager
tallies
his/her own employee attendances.

I had a spreadsheet set up, but it wasn't on a rolling calendar basis.
Then,
I was going to have the managers delete old months, but that would most
likely mess with the formulas.

So the new spreadsheet needs to be on a rolling calendar basis, so that
when
a new month comes up, the previous month from last year will drop off
in
calculations.

My file has three worksheets, one titled "Summary", one titled
"Details"
and
the last "Setup".

The Summary page should tally the total absences from the year for each
employee. It serves as a quick view. The Details page is where
Managers
enter information about each individual employee, each day they are
late,
or
don't show up for work. What I would like to do on the set-up page is
to
create a reference start date, so the Details page can reference this
and
add
365 days...and sum the number of absences within that range. I don't
know
how
to do this. How should the sheets be set up. Can someone please help?

Thank you.
