Data Between Workbooks
 
I have two workbooks, Schedule(in military time) and another Floorplans(days
on different worksheets). As I fill in my schedule with start times I want it
to place the names in the corresponding time slot on the floorplan. My
schedule has up to 5 people with the same range however 2-4 people may have
the same start time for a single day. If I have Friday in Column C and the
times from C2:C40 can I get excel to plug those into the Floorplan with a
formula that can deal with the duplicate times?

Just some ruminations on:
.. As I fill in my schedule with start times I want it
to place the names in the corresponding time slot on the floorplan ..


Try this sample from my archives for some relevant ideas:
http://savefile.com/files/933196
Workstation Scheduling 24hr x 36 seats x 100 staff.xls

And think it's always simpler to frame it all up & get it working within
sheets in the same book.

From the looks of it I think I can apply it to my setup.
Thank you.

I took your advice and copied the schedule to a new sheet within the same
workbook as my floorplans. I been playing with it and I'm struggling a bit.
I'll give you the layout I'm trying to apply some of your formulas.
(Schedule)
(Name) (Day/Time) (Day/Time)
B C D
Friday Saturday
Kyle Doe 1200 1530
Sue Doe 1200 1430
Peter Doe 1530 1830

FloorPlan has tabs for each day of the week.
(In) (Name) (Out/Zone)
D E F
1200 (Name Here) GU
Lunch 1420-1500
20min 1740-1800 2030

I seen your templet used a column and a row to place the Name. I'm having
trouble applying that to this. If you need more information let me know.
Thank you.

seperated by one space.

Can you upload a sample file (in .xls format) using a free filehost,
then post a link to it here?

For example, you could use this free filehost to upload:
http://www.freefilehosting.net/

Copy the "direct link" which is generated after you upload,
then paste it here

(Desensitize your sample as appropriate)

Idealy the names on the Schedule will have last names however only the first
name is placed on the FloorPlan. Here is what I have.

Ray,
Had a look. I'm sorry that your schedule, as-is,
is too complex for me to automate.
