Hi, I wish to use some data in my excel 2003 that will allow me to see data
for a range of dates.
In this case I have the first column as dates going back a few years, across
the top employees names.
I want to select past week, past month, past year, or a select date range.
Then loopup an employee, and display the number of un-planed leave, sick,
domestic, Special leave etc,

Can I please get some help.

Thanks Kevin.
