    Returning Information Via drop down?

    Hi Guys,

    I need some help with a spreadsheet I am using. On this spreadsheet I have all colleagues hours that they are working.

    I want to be able to print this spreadsheet out individually to give everyone a copy of their hours specifically.

    I was thinking of creating a new sheet and I want to have a drop down menu with their first name, when I select their name from a drop down their hours appear. Whilst this spreadsheet is currently horizontally I’d probably want their hours to be week by week in a vertical format.

    I’m unsure of what formula or function I use? Would it be a vlookup? Unsure of how to process sounds simply in my head ‘select a colleague and it returns all their hours then I can create a macro to print, any ideas?

    Administrative Note:

    We don't expect you to bump threads more than once in 24 hours - it has been only less than twelve hours since you posted. Please remember that those who help here do so voluntarily and of their own goodwill. They live in many different time zones and many will be out at work right now if they are not asleep on the other side of the globe. This is not a paid 'service': members will help when they are ready and able to do so, and not 'on demand'. Please do not try to put pressure of time on anyone here: if you get the help you need today, that's fine, but you really should not count on it. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

    To be honest, I'm not surprised you haven't had any responses. You have provided a minimal description on a sheet with a lot of "stuff" and have given NO indication of what you expect to see, where you expect to see it, and where you expect the data to come from. Mind readers are few on the ground here, and very few who are prepared to try to guess what you want. You've been looking at this for hours.... and a familiar with it. We just see a splurge of numbers and no explanation.

    Hi Glenn,

    Appreciate your feedback, don't expect other members to be mind-readers however despite myself being a member since 2016, I have only used this forum a handful of times. Therefore would probably expect your approach to be a little more coaching/constructive rather than a 'you've not done this this this and this'.

    With that being said - Thank you menem, you've captured everything I needed in that and I can see with the formula's how you've done it.

    I'll now mark this thread as resolved.
