    Formula to search value across multiple sheets

    Hello all!

    I use spreadsheets for training schedules, and currently have a formula that searches the employee name across the different session tabs to either return what session they're on or "Not Scheduled". This has been working great, however I've had a request to change this so that it returns the course date rather than the session number.

    This is the formula I'm currently using:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Here is an example spreadsheet for reference: Example.xlsx
    This formula can be found on the Employee List tab, column D. The Session_List table is on the schedule tab, column F (hidden).

    When I try to add another column to the Session_List table to reference the dates (B5 to B11) the formula stops working. Is there a way to have the formula search through the session tabs for the employee name, and return the course date?

    Re: Formula to search value across multiple sheets

    In my view, you would be better having one Session tab with columns for the data in rows 3 to 6 (Course, Date,Department etc).

    You can add a single session sheet which is an extract ogf the "sessions" table: it easier to extract from a single sheet than to search/combine from multiple sheets.
