    Creating a Teacher Schedule With Lists of Students based on student schedules

    I am trying to create a program that I can used to build student schedules on that will automatically give me names of students in each of a teacher's classes. For example, I can build a schedule for John Smith. John Smith is in Math 1st period, Science 2nd, History 3rd, etc. I want to have a separate sheet for each teacher, and based upon the main sheet of students, each student would show up in each class. I have already built the program for the most part, with the first student in that class's name. The problem I am having is retrieving the rest of the names on the list.

    I will attach my file in-case there is anyone out there who wants to take a stab at it.

    2015-2016 High School Schedule.xlsx

    Much appreciated!

    Re: Creating a Teacher Schedule With Lists of Students based on student schedules

    Can you include a sample workbook WITH data I can see flowing through the model?
    I dont see the teachers names, or how you identify who goes where... but I would suspect you can do ALL of this with a pivot table (AND NO FORMULAS!) since your Students tab is standardized (except for the crazy freshman-senior column lol).

    Post a sample workbook that includes FAKE data and a fake example or two of the reports you are trying to create. Make sure it has all the data in it, like names, class, teacher name or whatever you want to have so its a CLEAR representation of what you are trying to accomplish and I bet I can help you with a simple solution.

    Sorry not to respond in so long! The teachers names are the sheet names. Just to clarify,you want me to fill in a sample schedule for a few students and, instead of putting the formula I want in the cell on the teachers sheet, fill in the students' names that SHOULD show up according to the formula I eventually want?

    Sample HS Schedule.xlsx

    I added 4 schedules, and typed in names as the second line on the teachers' rosters. I left the first line as the formula since it already works.

    Thank you so much for your help!

    you dont have a list of teachers in the main data, so I have no idea who goes where or why.

    Re: Creating a Teacher Schedule With Lists of Students based on student schedules

    I've looked at this a few times.... and FINALLY, I understand what you're after.... I shared MikeTron's confusion.

    One thing. Do you want the search to go to the bottom of the list (i.e. row 309) or just to the bottom of the freshmen. I've set it only for freshmen. If that's wrong, simpluy adjust the ranges. I've only done this for two teachers (Davis & J. Hill). I daresay you can do the rest.

    Drag the formula right & down.

    Any problems, shout...

    Sorry for the confusion! mikeTRON, The teacher's names are the titles of the other sheets. Thank you so much for the Formula Mr. Kennedy!

    Yeah, my intention was to get them all in simple data, and then use a vlookup or powerpivot to marry the two datasets together, so then EVERYTHING is a pivot table

    Re: Creating a Teacher Schedule With Lists of Students based on student schedules

    It took me a while to realise that the teacher's names weren't important. The class names define/are unique to the teacher (I hope.... or I've given the wrong solution).
