VLookup With 2 Criteria - Provide Log Of Staff Allocation
Aug 31, 2012
I'm fairly new to excel and trying to create a simple spreadsheet to provide a log of staff allocation. I've created a first a sheet displaying a table with a week of rota. The first column lists where the staff are placed, the first row the date and inbetween the staff member covering that date. There are 5 further sheets, one for each member of staff with a simple table - first column is date, second is allocation.
Back on the first sheet below the timetable is a further grid showing on the first column staff names, and below each date a formula =VLOOKUP( B$3,David!$A:$Z,2,FALSE) pulls information from the 5 sheets displying whether a memeber of staff is on leave or there allocation on that particular day.
The problem i'm having is trying to get the 5 simple staff sheet to pull data from the Rota ie. I need say B3 to look at the date in A3, find the same date on the Rota sheet, look for the relevent staff name below it (if present), and display the allocation from the first column on the same row as the staff member.
I've tried a combination of Vlookup with Match and Index with Match but nothing seem to work.
Is there a way to provide filter with a list of criteria but when it doesnt match all of the criteria it still uses the filter on the criteria that it does match?
However sometimes for example B will be missing, or H or B H I will be missing etc... is there a way to provide all of the criteria and it will not error if the criteria is not all there?
What i have so far is: -3 Sheets (Sheet1 - Search, Sheet2 - Data, Sheet3 - Result) -Sheet1 has a userform ready to link up - this opens up when workbook and worksheet is activated. -Sheet2 has some example data to search - the search is for column 1 (see attachment) -Sheet3 has a template ready for the data to be pasted to.
I would like the search result is column 1 to copy the data from columns 1 to 7 to sheet3.
I want the template/layout to remain after the pasting of results. (everything protected from editing, if possible).
Once finished (ie go back to sheet1, i want the data from sheet3 to be cleared.)
They request for stock replenishment from warehouse as follows: A: 4 pieces B:2 pieces C:3 pieces D:3 piece E:3 piece
But since the warehouse only have 12 pieces of this product so need to allocate to the shops in rounds that is: Round 1: one piece is allocated to each shops (Stock left=12-5=7) Round 2: one piece is allocated to each shops (Stock left=7-5=2) Round 3: one piece each is allocated to A and C (the priority should be B but since B just requested for 2 pieces only which has been fulfilled) since there are no more stock
I have a list of 500 'cases' for staff to work on and I want to auto allocate them to people based on their skills. Whilst I can do this easily with each person have their own page in my workbook, I'm having the issue of the same data being replicated onto multiple sheets.
The main data is on one page and each person has their own individual page for their cases for the day. Is there any way to avoid multiples being sent out whilst creating a kind of 'priority ladder' as such?
I have trying to assign cards to respondents to view. I have 16 cards total which are grouped in sets of 4. Each set (of 4) is given a color, (red, green, blue, and yellow). Each color has a 4 different shades (S1, S2, S3, S4) so I have the following 16 cards:
I will have a total of 10 respondents giving their opinions who will each see 5 of the cards, randomly. Each respondents must see each color at least once (given that 5th card will be a repeated color). Each card must be tested 3 times (given that the 2 additional cards can be any of the cards).
If there a function or cell code that I can write so that I can allocate the card #s (1-16) across my 10 respondents?
I have a spreadsheet which has a list of staff (column B) and work categories (row 3).
Row 4 is updated each day with a count of the incoming work for each work category.
I want to be able to randomly distribute (as evenly as possible) the no of work items in Row 4 between the doers (B7:B13). Each item of work also has to be checked so I would also like to randomly distribute the checking between the checkers (B16:B18)....
I am creating a time allocation / holiday tracking calendar. 150 employes (1 per column) and then using rows (10 - 375) as a daily track. I am having trouble with two aspects and would value your assistance.
1. i have locked the top 9 rows and would like row10 to jump automatically to todays date. i.e current info directly below the titles block
2. How do i make the calendar wrap around i.e. if someone puts in for a week holiday starting dec 31st 2007, how do i make the calendar roll round to 2008.
I've been assigned a project where I'm suppose to report inventory allocation to projects at end of day every Thursday. The past 2 Thursdays, I've just literally been manually plugging in the numbers into the allocated stock column.
The spreadsheet I came up with is attached. The 1st tab is the demand showing the needed quantities per item and respective due/on-site dates. The on-hand inventory (stock) is on the 2nd tab. My current process is:
1. once items have been shipped, I delete those entries/rows from the first tab. This way, only all the outstanding/open orders remain. 2. after completing #1, I then copy and paste on-hand inventory from our database (Navision) onto the 2nd tab. 3. I manually plug in the the qty for each item depending on stock available. This is the part that I would like to streamline.
I am trying to write a Macro to allocate a certain cost across thousands of orders. The number of orders will obviously change monthly. The cost is relatively small, and when divided evenly by the total orders needs to be rounded up to the nearest cent (Typically $.01 - $.02)
I then need the cost to be insered in a colum running next to a total cost column, but I need it to stop when it reaches the total cost and just start adding zeros to the rest of the orders so as not to overcharge.
Not sure if I need to incorporate solver somehow. I figured I would reference the allocated cost from a cell in the worksheet but not sure how to insert any algebraic logic into a macro.
I am reposting this as my previous post was deleted.. i dont know the real reason for the same...
The raw data in the attachment contains:
•C1 to AI1 refers to vehicle numbers. •Column A refers to Shift Time •Column B refers to Number of vehicles required in that particulars Shift time
The output:
•As you can see in the Sheet “Output Required”, fields marked in the color “light green” are manually allocated vehicles numbers available and required according to shift time
•The logic used behind allocation is the same vehicle should not be used before or after within the span of 3 hrs, the gap between the vehicle usage before and after should be minimum 3 hrs. And the maximum time gap can be any value.
•Vehicle usage can be maximum (ie. You can use the same vehicle by rotating within 24 hrs but keeping in mind that it is not used before 3 hrs).
• all the available vehicles must be used before the same used vehicle is used in the new shift... ie. You should utilize all the vehicles before one is duplicated
I m creating a single cell formula in 'report'B3 that would allocate 'data'D3 appropriately by month heading if copied across. A few other threads on this topic only acheive this by creating an addtional row, not in a single cell. Since I'm going to use this on a report in Access, I just need the calculation. Is it not possible to acheive this in a single cell?
I have been asked to go through some information which has over 200 000 lines, what I need to do is as follows:
where order number is unique, revenue source = "Unique" where order number appears more than once, check division to see if it appears in more than one division, if it does revenue source = "Cross Selling", if it does not then revenue source = "Divisional Package"
I need all of the above in formula line which will be inserted in the revenue source column
I have attached the file with a sample of the information I am using.
The task involves summarising about 10,000 lines of data into months by Plant by Process. I can achieve it by stepping through a couple of schedules but I'm sure it can be done using one formula (but I can't find it!).
Is there a way I can count the number of different people in a column in any one day. The same persons name may appear more than once on the same day. My table is as follows:
Column A has my list of dates running from A2 to A500 Column E has my list of workers running from A2 to A500
My table of results is in a different workbook but basically what I need is this:
Nov 1 - Count how many people worked on 1st November Nov 2 - As above Nov 3 - As Above Nov 4 - As Above Nov 5 - As Above etc
I am running Excel 2010 32bit under Windows 7. The Excel file worked perfectly under Excel 2007 and Windows XP. The Excel file is somewhat complex with numerous links and embedded cell formulas. Occasionally, I get the following error message:
5.jpg
Before I install the 64 bit version, I attempted to chack a few other things. I opened the task manager and while viewing the process tab, I opened my Excel file. Once the file loaded, this is the allocation displayed in task manager:
1.jpg
This seemed reasonable considering the size of the Excel file (33Mb). Without changing anything, I clicked save to make sure it was working properly. While viewing the process, I watched the allocation climb, substantially. when it completed, this is what the process displayed:
2.jpg
Continuing to click the save button, without changing anything, continued to increase the memory allocation until the error message was displayed:
3.jpg
4.jpg
Closing Excel and re-openeing the file resets the memory allocation back to normal, which is a popular solution to this issue in the forums.
I did check the same issue using Excel 2007 and the memory allocation releases after each save.
I can see how installing the 64 bit version of Excel can correct this issue, and with 12Gb of Ram, I will probably use this method until I can get this fixed.
I need counting the number of staff within a time period. Unfortunately the schedule structure does not allow application of the simple solutions I've found regarding this which results in this being more complicated. My example is attached. My start and end time are in the same cell. I have used the Left() and Right() functions to manipulate the times. I am unable to count the number of occurrences of between the start/stop times of all my employees in the array. The formula also needs to take into account a manually entered time on the actual day.
Basically:
00:00 if F9:F42 = time is TRUE and I9:I42 = "" then count occurrences of 00:00 in scheduled times F9:F42 + if F9:F42 = time is FALSE, then if I9:I42 = time is TRUE then count occurrences of 00:00 in scheduled times I9:I42
01:00 02:00 " "
Even when I think I've gotten close the midnight time crossover keeps throwing off.
My boss wants me to take the holiday info from SAGE for 80 employees and create a record on excel. He wants to know what holidays each employee has taken and is due to take throughout the year. As each employee works a different amount of hours and a different shift pattern, SAGE records their holiday entitlement in hours rather than days. I have attached an example of one employees details and if come up with an excel document containing similar information for 80 individuals - all starting on different dates and all having a different amount of holiday entitlement. He wants to be able to look at each employees record for the year and see not only holiday data but sick days too. I don't know where to start with this - I've thought about creating a workbook with 80 pages and create a 12 month calendar for each individual with days off marked on it?
I have a table on a sheet called Contracted Staff. Table has staff names down the side and along the top is training needed.
Training H & S. fire. General training Lucy. 5/4/12 Jeff. 5/4/12 Michael. Dawn. 5/4/12
I would like on a training summary sheet to tell me who hasn't completed the training. I know I can use auto filter to select blanks to get who hasn't done it. However I want to print every training and list on the same sheet.
I am trying to work out a % score for a telephone operator. To explain further, I would monitor a call that an agent takes. The agent starts at 100%. There are 20 points to be scored and they are scored like this
1 - Yes 0 - No left blank - n/a
B3 counts the number of entries in the column B2 counts the number of 1's in the column B28 = B2/B3
Seems to work fine until the agent makes a fail which would enter a 0 in the column. Somewhere I think I need to take account that there are 20 possible fails or passes?
Currently I'm working on functionality in my staff holiday spreadsheet and I've come up with this amazing idea for a calendar overview for month by month.Now the sheets I currently have is summary and jan to dec.
I plan on adding the sheets Jan (Cal) to Dec (Cal) now this is when my idea gets nifty - The calendar view will import the information from the month table and will show it on the calendar.
For example X has 1 holiday in July for the 20th - this will show up on the calendar as "x on holiday", I'm still working with spreadsheets so I'm not sure if excel is powerful enough to do this - but is this actually possible?
I have a table that will have a drop down list in all of the cells in column F that are in the table. (I think I have the drop down list figured out
I want to create a button that makes it so every time a new row is needed for new stock entries etc, the user just has to press the button and it should just create a new row within the table. Simples .
Is this achievable? And if it is, what is the best way to go about it?
I have 20 staff members that I need to schedule in half day shifts (AM & PM) across three different locations for the month of July.
I want to make sure there is no overlap/duplication for any one staff in a time slot. Nor do I want any one staff member to work an AM and PM shift in the same day.
Ideally, I would also like to avoid back-to-back shifts (e.g., not allow PM on Monday to be scheduled for an AM on Tuesday).
Lastly, I would like to have the number of shifts be be as equitably distributed across all of the staff members as well.
I have this calendar with a total of 31 staff assigned. I need to assign two staff to cover each day not grayed out utilizing the staff tab from the top (A1) to the last (A31). Need to go to next name if blank.
