Hi,
My names Sam, i'm currently trying to create a spreadsheet to manage the time line of individual jobs for my company. I am useless when it comes to excel but keen to learn so please bare with me!
I thought I would open one thread and ask all of my questions here so that anyone wishing to do the same will have a walk through guide to follow? I have read the forum rules and it does say to post a new thread for each question. Hopefully this is O.K though?
So, if anyone can help me with some relatively basic questions, I would be extremely grateful for your time.
O.K the spreadsheet comprises of multiple columns such as follows
A: Job number (example XX000000, XX00001, XX000002)
B: Job type (ideally from a drop down although using excel starter I haven't got the 'data' tab so unable to follow any online tutorials)
C: Job raised (date)
D: Survey (date)
E: Acceptance (date)
F: Allocated Person (ideally from a drop down but as above)
G: Start (date)
H: Completion (Date)
I: Re-visit (Date)
J: Re-call (Date)
K: Invoiced (Date)
L: Paid (Date)
M: Complete (Yes/No)
So as you can see, much of the spreadsheet will be a case of compiling dates which will be entered to track the progress of the job. In the future I would like t be able to use the data to calculate quote to acceptance percentages, recall rates based on the engineer who has attended etc, but walk before run. Also it would be very useful if the row would change colour like a traffic light system depending on the progress of the job if at all possible?
So, i've spent all day looking through google and youtube but I am stuck at the first hurdle. So my first question is, would anybody be kind enough to help me through this project from the top? The first question being, how do I get the job numbers to automatically add 1 to the cell above?
Thanks again for your time,
Sam
