Drop Functions and Sorting
I am creating a report card for work performance. Right now I have
several worksheets that contain the different data that I combine onto the report card worksheet. Since there is more than one type of employee and classification of the type of work pbeing performed, I have to filter each worksheet to the proper stats, then move it over to the report card worksheet. This takes about 8 hours because there is so much data. I want to know if there is a way to either use a pivot table to do this or perhaps some way to assign a macro or function to automatically sort the data on the other worksheets and the report card to auto pull the data. Things I experimented with were making the title of the report card a drop down box and trying to write something that said If the drop down equaled "Title", then sort worksheet A to equal report card title. Obviously wasn't successful. Thanks for any help. Ryan |

Example:
Worksheet Names - Report Card, Labor Hours, Work Orders On the Labor Hour and Work Order sheet, the data will have many rows and columns with data like - work order number, type of worker's trade, labor hours, aging of work orders, etc. If I am looking at the Report Card worksheet, can I create a button, drop down, etc. that will automatically pull just the data I want from the other sheets and populate the approprate cells. So, if I want to see that avg labor hours and work order aging for just the electrical group, not the HVAC and plumbers, can I select electrical on the report card sheet and it will find the data from the other sheets and populate the cells? |
