Hello,



i have a database, which I am trying to extract data out of and pop onto

monthly sheets.



Baiscally it for a visit schedule over a 12 month period from ownership.

So we will have 6 visits a year, each visit has different tasks to be

carried out.



So I need all the jobs that require a visit in Aug-13 regardless of what

number visit it will be, populated into the Aug-13 tab, and so on.



when I do this, the formula that I am using leaves blank rows until

Aug-13 appears in a certain cell. This is no good due to the top of the

spreadsheet being empty, will data population further down, results in

the engineer missing these visits.



the formula that I have been using is as follows:



IF('Master'!$I4="Aug-13",'Master'!A8,"")



I have attached an example for what i would like the report to look

like.



If you have any suggestions on how I would get this sorted, they would

be very much appreciated.



i would prefer Excel formula's, but marcos or VBA would also be an

option, although I am not too up to gether on the later 2, and the

person using the spreadsheet is a beginner excel user.



I look forward to all of your suggestion



Donna

Are you still interested in some input for this problem? I just came across your post and have some ideas, but I see it was sent months ago.
