Calendar with dynamic ranges highlighted?

[Spr0ckEt]

Hey folks, I'm trying to come up with a yearly calendar (one that I can advance to the next year). The idea for the calendar is to have six sheets, each with about 40 people, and their attendance throughout the year. Ideally, you'd be able to look at one name at a time, that way I can show it to the individual (or print it) without showing other personal data. Finally, it needs to be able to dynamically look back and count dates where there are call-offs (V1), tardies, (V2), and no-shows, (V3). Then, notify once that number reaches the threshold. Conditional formatting maybe?)

Can someone help me come up with a draft? I'm above average with Excel, and above average with VBA, just not good enough yet... lol

I would create one DataSheet containing all the data with headers.
With all the data in one place, it is easy to add to and access for output
I would also include/create employee ID numbers to search by so as to differentiate between same names.
Each occurrence (tardy, no-show etc) would be in one column and each occurrence on its own line along with other fields
I would create UserForms for input/editing the data, not manually entering on the DataSheet directly
Use additional Sheets for reporting with InputFields/DropDowns for parameters, i.e. DateRange, EmployeeName etc
I build all my more complex data management Workbooks using VBA exclusively.
As my Workbooks are for EndUsers, VBA gives me better control
Also the lack of Formulas means they can't be inadvertently deleted

That's my take, hope it helps
Have fun!
