Help - need to consolidate workbooks
 

Hi all

Need some help. There is now a requirement for my team to complete timesheets. Something like the attached. I have 2 sheets on there but that will actually be 2 workbooks, as an example

The requirement is for each individual to complete their timesheet and drop in a folder. Our manager will then see 15 timesheets in this folder. He would then need to consolidate the timesheets into ONE workbook and ONE worksheet.

They want to do some analysis etc so would need a total of all timesheets.

However if you look at the timesheet - each could be different depending on how many clients that person has worked for that week. Person 1 may have 5 clients that period whilst Person 2 may have just the one.

Any idea's how this can be achieved please?

Thanks

Good examples of the sources. However, you need to show us what you
want the consolidated sheet to look like....

Hi

Just a thought here

Why go to all the trouble of having multiple sheets as opposed to having
everyone enter their details into 1 centralised workbook where you can
do your analysis...

You could use a UserInputForm and allocate a UserID/Password as their
unique ID passing their entries directly into the referenced cells.

On the usersInputForm after it has passed the UserID protocol, you could
have the following ComboBoxes/ValidationLists and TextBoxes:

Employee:
Client:
Day/Date:
Hours:

There you go, no need for 15 spreadsheets and potentially complicated
codes to roll through each and reconstruct the data, and hope there are
no errors along the way.

HTH
Mick.

Sounds a really cool idea, but i have no experience in creating UserInputForm and allocating UserID/Password etc.

Presumably there will be only ONE workbook on a shared drive somewhere?

here u go, something like this

However if you look at the timesheet - each could be different depending on how many clients that person has worked for that week. Person 1 may have 5 clients that period whilst Person 2 may have just the one.
