Hello.
I am hoping my search query for this is correct and the answer I am looking for is not on this board yet. If it is, I apologize and request the link to that thread.
I am creating a workbook that will track disciplinary actions for an employee roster.
On a user-friendly Entry sheet, we use vlookup to pull various data from a Roster sheet for verification of the correct employee.
Once we can see the employee data, we would enter further data for that employee into multiple cells on the Entry sheet.
When we hit submit button, we want this data to be stored into specific cells back to the Roster sheet, corresponding to the employee found in the Roster sheet.
For example:
Roster sheet: Horizontal cell data: Badge: 6, Name: John Doe, Manager: Jeff, Clock In Time: (waits for data from Entry sheet), Clock Out Time (waits for data from Entry sheet), Reason: (waits for data from Entry sheet), Action: (waits for data from Entry sheet). The next 4 cells repeat the "waits for data" role for a second set of entries for the same person, same as a third set of 4 cells and a fourth set of 4 cells. So if an employee has 4 entries, all 4 would be shown on the same line as the employee info in this sheet. This horizontal data exists for a large number of employees, one per line down the Roster sheet.
Entry sheet: We type in the employee badge number and vlookup populates a table with the employee name and manager so we can verify we have the right employee. This data comes from the Roster sheet. Then we would enter the clock in and clock out times, the reason, and the action data into the Entry sheet and hit submit. This would place the newly entered data into a set of four cells that directly follow the employee data on the Roster sheet. If there is already data in the first 4 cells, it would populate this new data into the second 4 cells, and so on, keeping an ongoing record of up to 4 occurrences per employee.
Search sheet: This sheet allows us to type the badge ID of the employee and quickly access the data from up to 4 records we have previously stored per employee, which is all stored in the Roster sheet.
I have the sheets all working as described except for the submit button on the Entry sheet and copying the data to the proper cells on the Roster sheet. This is where I am needing help.
Thank you for your time and knowledge/expertise with this matter!
