Hi there,
For the problem i have, i thought a pivot table would work, but it doesnt. I will try explain as best as i can.
Column A - Task List (about 100 of them)
Column B - Monday
Column C - Hours
Column D - Tuesday
Column E - Hours
... and so on.
Under the "day" columns, we enter an employees name to allocate them to the task. There are 10 employees in total.
What I am trying to achieve?
Rather than each employee having the large list of tasks and having to find their name among the others, i would like a separate sheet for each employee that basically looks for their name and displays those lines in a nice table. So that each day they know just their tasks.
Attempts
1) I thought a pivot table would work, but because of the nature of the table, the pivot table results in layer upon layer and displays poorly.
2) I then did If statements which kind of worked, but its static in the sense that the resultant sheet will show just the one employees name and tasks, but wherever he is not allocated is obviously just a blank row. If an employee only has 5 tasks for the day, he has 95 blank rows throughout those tasks.
I hope ive explained it clearly. Any ideas?
