Vlookup question
I have an attendance spreadsheet that i use at work. I have a worksheet for each year. I but together a worksheet that uses vlookup to gather all the information from the yearly attendance sheets. The problem i have is, i am trying to put together a worksheet that will take a name from a cell that will be manually entered and manually enter the starting month and year and it will give the information (days worked, absent days, and tardy days) for that month and the next consecutive 6 months. The problem i have is, i need vlookup to gather the name, then gather the information for each month/year that is displayed. Basically i think i need a vlookup command to look up the name, then lookup the perspective month. No matter what i try i can not get it to pull this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- flourboy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ flourboy's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26219 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=395427 |

the individual yearly pages look like this. September 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10...... Total Days Absent Tardy Joe a t 10 1 1 Ann a a 10 2 0 The worksheet is set up by month and each persons info is inputted each day. The whole year is setup on one worksheet. I have no issue with the formula's on this worksheet Next I have put to get a summary page that looks like this: Month/Yr Name Name Joe Ann Total Days Absent Tardy Total Days Absent Tardy Sept 04 21 2 1 21 1 0 Oct 04 20 0 0 20 0 0 Nov 04 22 0 1 22 1 1 Now this page is setup using vlookup for each of the cells (total days, absent, tardy). This page works perfectly. Now the page i am having trouble with is like so: Name:_________________ Total Days Absent Tardy Sept 04 Oct 04 Nov 04 Dec 04 Jan 05 Feb 05 The only cells that are to be manually entered are the persons name and the starting month of the sequence of 6. Now the problem i am having is get the vlookup to lookup the persons name then another to lookup the information for the month. I basically need a vlookup inside a vlookup i think. These commands will be done individually for the total days, absent, and tardy columns. -- flourboy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ flourboy's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26219 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=395427 |
