VBA to assign car parking spaces

[Adam0000007]

Hi,


I'm pretty new to VBA, and was hoping someone might be able to help me with something i am trying to write:


Sheet 1 (input tab): Row 1 contains Mon-Fri, with the rows below detailing what car parking spaces are available for those days, for example, if space 18 is available on monday cell A2 will say 18.


Sheet 2 (parking list tab): this tab has employees in column A, column B dictates whether the employee needs a space or not, so they can be in a "space not needed" state, and then column C-G is the week days.


What i wanted to do was update sheet1 with any available spaces for the week and then run a macro that would then assign the spaces to employees that require a space that week, so it would not assign to those in a "space not needed" state.


I was hoping once this macro was run, sheet1 would contain no spaces so that if anymore spaces become available, we could update sheet1, run the macro, and the next employees due to receive a space would be allocated the space.


I have no idea if this is possible, but i was hoping someone might be able to help?


I look forward to any response


Thanks,


Adam

Sheet 1 (input tab): Row 1 contains Mon-Fri, with the rows below detailing what car parking spaces are available for those days, for example, if space 18 is available on monday cell A2 will say 18.

so what happens when spaces 5,8,14 are also available?
do you want A2 to display all numbers available on monday? will they be separated by any special characters or spaces? this is manually inputted?
how many parking spots are there?

if employee is "space not needed" does that mean on certain days or they just never need a space?

and then column C-G is the week days.

so the parking spot number thats available from sheet 1 will move to these columns i take it?
what happens at the end of the week? do they keep the same parking schedule or does this reset weekly?

"so what happens when spaces 5,8,14 are also available?

So i would expect cell A3 to show 5, A4 to 8 etc etc, so it is in a list format.
this list will be manually input.
There are 200 parking spaces.

"if employee is "space not needed" does that mean on certain days or they just never need a space?"

When in this state, the employee does not need a space for that week.

"so the parking spot number thats available from sheet 1 will move to these columns i take it?
what happens at the end of the week? do they keep the same parking schedule or does this reset weekly?"

yes i hope so, so there will be a list in sheet 1 with all the available spaces, and then the macro will allocate each space to the employees in sheet 2, in the order they are listed and not giving a space when in a "space not needed" state.
And the end of the week the sheet will be reset, so sheet1 and sheet2 will be cleared out and the inputting of the manual data will begin again.

I do have a blank version of the file but am unsure on how to attach this.
