    Cross-workbook schedule

    I have a spreadsheet that has dates in the first row starting in cell B1. (B1=1 Jan, C1=2 Jan, etc.)
    I have the shifts and names of individuals in the first column starting in cell A2. (A2=Morning, A3=Justin, A4=Matt, A5=Afternoon, A6=Jacob, etc.)
    The cells between names and dates have notes, such as appointments and training etc. (So C3 would have an appt for Justin, etc.)
    Now I'd like to make a separate workbook for me to view that only shows a 2 week forecast. It needs to be dynamic as individuals move shifts. Is there a way to make it so my 2 week forecast workbook references the schedule and only shows me the next 2 weeks?
    I'm not a novice, but this has me stumped.

    Re: Cross-workbook schedule

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

    Here's a very rough example but has the basics of what we have.

    We advise you not to 'bump' (reply to) your own posts too quickly after posting, unless you are posting some sort of clarification. Since bumped threads have replies, they will no longer appear in the "Zero Reply Posts" listing, which many members use to look for unanswered questions. If you do bump, limit it to no more than once every day. Remember that your best helper may be asleep on the other side of the world.
    That said, and not quite understanding what you want in the event of "It needs to be dynamic as individuals move shifts", Sheet 2 of the attached file may be of some help.
    Note that on Sheet 1 the merged cells have been unmerged.
    A2:A13 are populated using: =Sheet1!A2
    B1 is the first date of the two week period. In the attached file a date is selected, but in the actual file =TODAY() would fill that cell.
    C1:O1 are populated using: =B1+1
    B2:O13 are populated using: =INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$G$13,MATCH($A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$13,0),MATCH(B$1,Sheet1!$B$1:$G$1,0))
    Note that zero values are hidden using conditional formatting
    Note that in the attached file unmatched dates display an error, this could be resolved by wrapping the formula in IFERROR however I assume that in the actual file there will not be any unmatched dates within two weeks of the current date.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
