How do I create a search function or filter to return a department or office on a spreadsheet that contains multiple organizations that all contain multiple offices and also list the billets/positions that fall under them in the order they are listed? I?ve looked at a few things online and in books, but I?m not able to come up with a complete solution. I imagine it will be a mixture of a few things to make this work right. I?m hoping that there is a semi easy quick process to carry this out.
Each organization contains a unique identifier. Organizations are arranged in a specific hierarchy. Larger department codes are listed with smaller office codes falling under them. Billets/positions are listed under all.
For example use a department store that is broken up into functional areas/departments Lawn, lumber, paint, appliances. Under lawn you may have the subsections/offices of plants, lawn care, storage and tools with five billets/positions under each.
The spreadsheet would list the records in this manner:
Hierarchy Code Title
D Department Store
E Manager
E Asst Manager
D Lawn
E Supervisor
O Plants
E Employee 1
E Employee 2
O Lawn Care
E Employee 1
E Employee 2
O Storage
E Employee 1
D Lumber
So if I wanted to search for lawn the result would be:
Hierarchy Code Title
D Lawn
E Supervisor
O Plants
E Employee 1
E Employee 2
O Lawn Care
E Employee 1
E Employee 2
O Storage
E Employee 1
This will need to be applied to a new spreadsheet that contains over 13,000 records each month that changes from the previous month.
Thanks all. Looking forward to hearing how you would achieve this.EXCEL PROBLEM.xlsxEXCEL PROBLEM.xlsxEXCEL PROBLEM.xlsx
