Here is what sheet one should look like,
Col A
Name
Jill
Bob
Sue
Joe
Col B
Lic.
A
B
B

Col C
Thursday
8/16/01
7a-3p
and so on with the times & days
Need one clarification please
In C1 you have day of the week, in C2 you have date, and in C3 you have a range of time. It appears to me that the range of time (e.g., 7a-3p) ought to have it's own column so that it is aligned by row with the names of the people. Am I misunderstanding your spreadsheet design? Col C
Re: Here is what sheet one should look like,
If I assume the following layout,
a1 names, b1 license, c1:?1 are dates
then you can do the following to pull out info for a specified date
In sheet2, A1 type a label like "Input Date in A2". In A2 type the date in which you're interested. Copy sheet1, columns a and b to sheet 2 columns b and c. Since the a and b columns from sheet 1 don't change based on your date criterion, they are effectively labels. In D2 enter the formula
=HLOOKUP(A$2,Sheet1!$2:$6,ROW(),FALSE)
but change the 6 to the number of the last row with a name in it in column b.
You can then change the date in A2 and the D column "shift" times will change to match the newly entered date.
It seems to me that I'm interpreting your question too simply- am I missing something? Col C
Also, if you have employees for which there are no entries on that date...
You could use an autofilter on sheet2 and select non-blank to keep the data together in rows. : Col C
