need a table w/ employees, dept., and counts

I want to just input who in attendance, and the number of pulls needed in each dept. (dept.#doesn't change), and have excel throw the associates into departments so that they all pull about the same total amount of items, and so I know the totals for each employee. And also if they pull from dept. 4 or 9 then that's all they pull from.

i.e
Working today: Mike, Dave, Janet, Jill, Josh, Ed
Dept Pulling Name
3 45 Dave
4 234 Janet
5 37 Ed
6 34 Dave
7 65 Jill
8 45 Josh
9 115 Mike

Total being pulled by Dave 79
etc.

Hi and welcome to the forum

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.

This is how I understand your problem:

How do you know who is working as there isn't any indication at all of days or dates? Of what significance are these "numbers to pull"? Dave has 2 different numbers from 2 different departments, yet you want them added together. I really don't understand the requirements here.
