I have a workbook that tracks time punches. They are separated into 3 columns; total time in, total time on job, total time out of job code. I run a report every day that shows all punches. How easy would it be to have excel search the daily report, find a name, then look for a specific text string, and take the total number from a cell. In other words, the report would show the name, and a series of time punches. At the bottom would be a text string called series hours, then an identical number of blank cells for each name, and a total. Is it going to be very complicated to do this? Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Hi
I cannot get a grasp on exactly what your in need of???
You can do just about anything as far as searching is concerned with Excel. If not Excel alone, than with Visual Basic for App-lications. If you are unable to get help, E-Mail the Workbook or Sheet in question and I'll take a look at it. I'm going to be off work for quite a while and would enjoy helping if I can. tstom@hotmail.com
