Thanks both for the replys. Using the tricks described here ("sum" on
the date and a vlookup table for names), I am generating the first
table with only a little extra work to maintain a lookup table. I think
I now have nice techniques for loading the details into the data cells
of a pivot table when there is only one value per cell.

The second table still has me stumped. I may be heading down the wrong
path for this one using pivot tables because the table may list
multiple names in any cell. Bad example I made, but look on 9/13..
there are two children getting taught. My current pivot table shows me
the number/count of names (I have as many as 4 in a single cell with my
real data) and I can click on the number to see the details, but with
just the count in the cells I am not able to print and distribute
hardcopies for scheduling.

If anyone has any other tricks I can attempt for my second table, it is
appreciated. I have already greatly impressed my boss with this first
set you folks supplied, so thanks again
