Hello, I am using a well established rota on excel but wishing to make some things automated using VBA to save time.
It is a rolling rota where employees have different roles (on a 6 week rolling rota) but also cross cover for absences/annual leave etc, within this there is also a 'jobs rota' for 3 of the specific roles. Currently the roles are based on cell colour on the rota (and I cannot change this)
One thing that takes time is updating the roles of these 3 employees based on the separate 'jobs rota'.
What I wish to to is add the jobs from the 'jobs rota' to only specific coloured cells on the main rota, but also not delete what is already written in these cells (such as 'long day') only add to it (eg. to say 'Long day - Lab' or 'Long day Pick-up').

...Sorry if this is not explained very well, please see mini-sheet below

Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer
