Default Problem trying to generate a report with a formula

Hi again,

You are correct in thinking that each of the 5 worksheets is a
different location. If it is ok with you i can forward the actual
workbook to you if you would like to have a look at it.

Regards,
Bill

Can you tell us a little more about the content on sheets 1-5? I presume
that since you're using 5 sheets, that these deal with locations or skills or
something so that you have 5 different lists of employees that total up to 40
employees?

Hi all,

I'm trying to generate a report and am having trouble with the formula.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Here is what I need to be able to do.


I have 6 worksheets in the same workbook, worksheets 1 - 5 are
identically laid out and the sixth is the one I want to generate a
report on. Column A is for peoples names, Columns B-H are labelled
Monday - Sunday on top. If the person in A2 is working on Monday then I

would type "Yes" into B2 and so on for the rest of the week and for the

rest of the rows also. It is the case that not everyone will work
everyday, therefore I want the report page to be a kind of roster
report detailing who is working on what days. The report page is laid
out as follows. Weekdays in A1-G1. What I want to do is have worksheets

1-5 checked and for instance bring back everyone's name who is
working on Monday to worksheet 6 A2-XX (XX being whatever the last
individuals name working that day is) I would ideally like the names to

be sequential as there are 40 people that could potentially be working
but only 15-20 may work on the Monday (I don't want the report to be
spread over 41 rows if possible)


I hope I have explained this well enough. Any help you might be able to

give at all would really be appreciated! I've started pulling my hair
out trying it at this stage : -)


Thanks again!


Bill
