Help with functions
I want to have a new spreadsheet that pulls the position
number, percentage allocated, and the accounts. I know how to easily pull this information in when there is only one line. The problem is that for one position number there may be multiple percentages along with different accounts. (Note: The end goal is to run a pivot table on the information so I would prefer to have multiple rows vs multiple columns.) Employee Key Spreadshee This has one line per employee. One employee holds only one position number, but the position number could be allocated to more than one department). Percentage Key Spreadsheet ( Pos # % Alloc Dept Exp 1A 100 200 50000 2A 95 205 50001 2A 5 204 50001 New Spreadsheet (pulling and being populated with the information from Percentage Key spreadsheet and employee key spreadsheet) Pos# Emp % Alloc Dept Exp Salary 1A Jane D 100 200 50000 100.00 2A John D 95 205 50001 95.00 2A John D 5 204 50001 5.00 Thanks in Advance |

It looks like you need a custtom macro. The problem is you don't know how
many entries each employee has. If the 2nd table (thhe one with the person name) already exist, then the problem is is simplier. Then you are looking for either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time a POS in the Key spreadsheet. If you have a table like A B C C D E and you want tto get the 2nd occrance of C. You can do something like this =Offset(A1,match("C",A1:A100,0),0,1,1) + 1),1,1) This will find the 1st occurance of C and then get the value att the next row.

I am lost, sorry. I am unfamiliar with the Offset function. The new
spreadsheet shown at the bottom is what I want the spreadsheet to look like. There is no way to populate or essentially "explode" that information from the employee key and percentage key to the "new worksheet"? "Joel" wrote: It looks like you need a custtom macro.

There is no simple way of doing what you want to do. An undrstanding of
some of the more complicated functions or learning VBA is the only waty of going. If somebbody is going to help you , then more specific information is needed on the way you workbook is organized such as sheet names, specific columns and rows. Take a look at some of the responses on the Excell Programming discussions which might give you some help. Look at the way people asked the questions. Some questions are ignored because they do not give enough information to provide a solution. The major problem people have with excel is to solve problems where data is on multiple rows. You problem is not unique. "michelle" wrote: I am lost, sorry. I am unfamiliar with the Offset function. The new spreadsheet shown at the bottom is what I want the spreadsheet to look like.
