Struggling to get my head around this one and think I might be overcomplicating when there's a simple answer in sight!
I have a training matrix showing dates of training for staff. Say something like this..
What I want to do, ideally, is have another tab where I've got a reference table showing the requirements for each job position, say something like this
And using this data, the initial table with my matrix of staff members would highlight where there was training required based on their job role:
I'm all in a scramble over how to get it to both look up to see which column it should be looking at, and if the match of training reference occurs or not in that column.
I may also be going at this in entirely the wrong way - any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
