    Table Organization for Staffing

    Good Afternoon All!

    This may have a simple solution that I am just not seeing, but I am on a bit of a time crunch to get this done for work. I work in a moderately sized facility and have been tasked with arranging a spreadsheet of our employees (~500) into groups based on their title. I have been given a spreadsheet with the following columns:

    Last Name | First Name | Title

    What I am looking to do is create a new sheet for each Title, and have a table on that sheet that will populate with all the names of each person who has that title. So for example, Sheet 1 will be the main source data, then Sheet 2 will have a table for the title of Nurses Aide, Sheet 3 will be for Nurses, and so on. I am currently trying to do so with a pivot table, which for the most part is functioning properly. The main issue I am encountering there is that we have some employees who share the same last name, i.e. "Williams" only appears on the table once, but there are 3 different employees who share that last name.

    Image of what I have so far below:

    The only way I have come up with to solve that would be to merge the Last Name and First Name columns, but that would take far longer than I really have to do this.

    Any suggestions or solutions are more than welcome, Thanks all!!

    If you moved title to the Report Filter section (or used a slicer) would this give you what you need?
    You could then have copies of the pivot on each tab and filter accordingly.
    There's always a way.

    Hi kblock and welcome to the forum,

    See the attached which simulates your problem. I agree with using a Pivot table like Feastie suggests, but you don't have Slicers in your 2010 product yet.

    Thank you!

    I appreciate your guys' help, I did try moving the Titles to the report filter which did help a bit but I was still have the trouble with the multiple first names filing under the same last name. So, I did the glaringly obvious and combined the First Name and Last Name columns into a third called Full Name by using the very simple (but alas, new to me!) { =A10&", "&B10 } formula. I then listed both the Title and Full Name into the "Row Labels" field. This actually allowed me to add a bit more functionality to the workbook as whole, so I've accomplished what I needed to and more! So many thanks to all!

    Updated examples attached.
