And new Pay Rates
I have a spreadsheet that calculates employees time. I input the employees code in column C fields and hours in column D fields and it gives me there pay totals. When I input a the employees code the rate that conincides with that code automatically pops up in column F. I can change the amount of the rate that comes up by going to another sheet in that workbook titled "Parameters" and changing the dollar amounts on htat sheet. However if I try to add a new code and payrate to the sheet it does not recognize it on the Time Entry sheet. It comes up #N/A. There is also something that is unusual with the parameters page. The codes that are already on the sheet are aligned on the left side of the cell but there is no left justification for it, and if I click on to a code and change the number, it jumps to the right of the cell and then comes up #N/A. How can I add new rates? Thanks for any help you are able to give. By the way, the formula in the rate field on the Time Entry sheet is =IF(C7="",0,VLOOKUP(C7,INDIRECT("EmployeeList"),2, FALSE)) |

Hi, left indent usually indicates text, is it possible that those numbers were entered with an apostrophe in front of them???? Select one of them and check the formula bar.

Question - why does your formual use the INDIRECT function?? why not just: =IF(C7="",0,VLOOKUP(C7,EmployeeList,2, 0)) just curious!

I didn't create the workbook. I took it over from someone who got fired. I looked and there is no apostrophe before the number codes. I checked the format and it is formatted as number and general alignment. Why the left indent? |

That is strange indeed. Maybe some of the MVP's out there could tell you.
