Processes in one cell
Hi,
I am working in the HR department in a BPO Industry. Last week, my manager has given me a tedious task. I have to prepare employee master of 5000 employees of around 85 different processes. I have prepared that sheet by combining many existing sheets. Now, I have to update that sheet on daily basis but the problem is in maintaining the Process Column, because as per the process need, may be one has to change his process more than 50 times in a year or not even one time. Now if I will insert 50 columns in that sheet it will become very huge and confusing sheet for me and others as well because it is already a very big sheet having each and every detail of an emplyee. I want to know is it possible to enter all the processes in one single cell and until we reach to that particular cell it should show the last process (means current process in which he is working) and if we reach to that particular cell it should show the whole process he was moved from one department to another. For example- If one join process (A) then move to process (B) then (C) then (D)-(E)-(F)----(Y) and at last if he is working in (Z) then cell should show (Z) but the moment I reach to that particular cell it should show (A)-(B)-(C)-(D)-(E)-(F)------(Y)-(Z). It is not necessary that it should be in the same process, if you understand my problem you can suggest me different ideas to solve this problem. Note-I have to use regularly the Vlookup for taking the current department in other different sheet. So, it should be flexible for this. Thanks & regards Jai |

Processes in one cell
I don't have the answer, but this might push you in a direction?
I totally forgot how I did this, but a long time ago, I had a file with macro's which made a copy of some cells (the department in your case) when the file opened to a hidden sheet. then when the file is saved, another macro saves the same cells in that hidden sheet, in the adjecent column. This way you can see every change. I remember it was a lot of work to create though... -- Hendrik Kleine "jai" wrote: Hi, I am working in the HR department in a BPO Industry.

Processes in one cell
Perhaps enter it all in a single cell, but "insert" the current process
at the begining of the cell, so the progression will be read in reverse order so if the current process is Z and the original was A it would look like Z-Y-X-................B-C-A jai wrote: Hi, I am working in the HR department in a BPO Industry.
