Sorry if this is a basic question, but I have a simple spread sheet that is used to record absences from work. Annual leave is simply marked with an "a" or "a0.5" for a half day in the appropriate box next to the date and below the persons name. Sickness leave is marked with an "s".
Staff names are listed across the top of the page, with the date down the side, below the names is a summary that gives various information including the total amount of leave taken.
What I've been asked is if the sheet can be modified to show who is away on the day it is opened, without having to scroll down.
Can excel be tweaked to open at the row for "today"?
Can it be set to send an email each day listing who is absent?
Would it be better to use one of the form functions and let people type the date in and then some code would search for "absentees"?
Again, forgive me if I've not explained this very well, but I'm quite a novice at anything other than basic functions.
