I have an Excel file with a sheet that has the following columns: Name, Activity, Start Date,
End Date. What I would like to do: I would like to create summary sheet with a calendar-like
matrix, with the names as rows, and dates as columns. I would then like to plot the activity in
the corresponding dates (based on the start and end date). Note: If there are schedule
conflicts, the conflict should show up in another row
- Is this even possible to do in Excel???
Source:
Name Activity StartDate EndDate
PersonA Vacation Jan1 Jan3
PersonA Office Jan4 Jan5
PersonA Field Jan6 Jan7
PersonB Vacation Jan1 Jan3
PersonB Field Jan4 Jan7
PersonB Office Jan5 Jan5
Summary:
Name Jan1 Jan2 Jan3 Jan4 Jan5 Jan6 Jan7
PersonA Vacation Vacation Vacation Office Office Field Field
PersonB Vacation Vacation Vacation Field Field Field Field
PersonB Office
I would appreciate thoughts / feedback.

hello Jindon-

Is it also supposed to merge cells that have the same value if they are beside each other? E.g.

Merged:

I know I am asking a lot so let me know if it is not possible!

Thanks again.

I'm sure this could be possible but I think it is asking a bit much.:)

In fact I wonder why you want the data in this format in the first place.

And merged cells were forged in hell.:diablo:

Read the code carefully and if you want to merge the cells, you can do it for yourself.

And don't forget to unmerge all the cells before you run the code again.
I hate merged cells.

Norie -

BIt much - I agree, and I feel sufficiently chastened but it would take me ages to figure all this out myself =(

Why I need it in this format: I am project manager and I just deployed an application that people dont quite like. This macro in Excel would help address the user's concerns in the meantime while I figure out how to get the app itself to meet their needs.

Not a moocher. I would gladly reciprocate if I can (it just wont be in the excel macro realm).

Jindon-

Got it- will give it a try.

I am truly grateful. I am no good at Excel programming (or programming in general) but am decent at English composition. Not a fair trade but I can edit or review technical documentation for you (I know - not really a fair trade but it is the most I can offer).

Best,

There is no reason for you to apologize when you don't understand a solution.

VBA, as you've already discovered, is not a trivial approach. What you have not discovered is what a nightmare it will be when you try and use / maintain the solution on an ongoing basis.

Your problem is easy to solve with conditional formatting. Well, easy as long as you are willing to forgo the text in merged cells (i.e., live with just the four colors) and you are OK with accepting one of the colors as the default for cells currently undefined (see the next para). If that's OK with you here's how you can solve your problem.

In Excel 2003, you are allowed three conditional formatting criteria. You have four. So, we'll designate one, say the Vacation color as the default color for the cells showing the status of people. Then, we'll use the 3 C.F. criteria to 'overlay' the 3 other colors. The downside of this approach -- and it applies to versions of Excel prior to 2007 -- is that any combination of person and date that is not in the data table will show up colored as 'vacation' There's a way to flag that cell as containing 'unknown' data as shown below.

To start with, define a set of named formulas. These will make your life a lot easier in terms of expanding the analysis to more data, and make it a lot easier to read, understand, and maintain your workbook.

I put the data table in Sheet1 columns A:D starting with the headers in row 1. In addition, I had the strings "Vacation", "Office" and "Field" in E2:E4. So, I added the names (Insert | Names > Define...):
Code: 
PersonRng	=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-1,1)
ActivityRng	=OFFSET(Sheet1!PersonRng,0,1)
StartDateRng	=OFFSET(Sheet1!PersonRng,0,2)
EndDateRng	=OFFSET(Sheet1!PersonRng,0,3)
FieldVal	=Sheet1!$E$4
OfficeVal	=Sheet1!$E$3
Now, in another sheet, Sheet2 in my case, in column A, starting with A2 enter the names of the persons. I used PersonA, PersonB. For additional testing after I finished building the solution I added PersonC. In row 1, starting with B1 enter the dates. I used 1/1, 1/2, etc.

Select the range of cells defined by the people and the dates. Set the color to Red. Next, select Format | Conditional Formatting... and enter the three formulas and corresponding colors as purple, yellow, and green:
Code: 
=SUM(($A2=PersonRng)*(B$1>=StartDateRng)*(B$1<=EndDateRng))>1
=SUM((PersonRng=$A2)*(ActivityRng=FieldVal)*(B$1>=StartDateRng)*(B$1<=EndDateRng))>0
=SUM((PersonRng=$A2)*(ActivityRng=OfficeVal)*(B$1>=StartDateRng)*(B$1<=EndDateRng))>0
Note the use of several mixed (i.e., absolute, indicated by the presence of the $ sign and relative, indicated by the absence of a dollar sign) references.

Once done with the c.f., in the cells themselves, enter the formula
=IF(SUMPRODUCT((PersonRng=$A2)*(B$1>=StartDateRng)*(B$1<=EndDateRng))=0,"*","")
This formula will show an asterisk in any cell where we don't know anything about that person-and-date combination.

That's it. You're done.

Want to add expand the display to include new dates? Simply select the data in the last 2 columns and drag right. Want to add a new person? Type the person's name in column A of the first empty row and copy down the cells in B:whatever from the previous row.

Want to add new data for existing people? Just add data to the existing table.

Want to change the date range you are interested in? Just update the values in row 1 of the sheet where you have the result.

The solution is even more elegant in 2007 because we can define 4 c.f. criteria. Consequently, the Vacation color is no longer the default for a cell that includes unknown information.

I'll try and post the workbook I used for testing to some site and will add another post with that location.

Jindon-

Got it- will give it a try.

I am truly grateful. I am no good at Excel programming (or programming in general) but am decent at English composition. Not a fair trade but I can edit or review technical documentation for you (I know - not really a fair trade but it is the most I can offer).

Best,
