    Chart needs to auto populate items from master referance chart based on job description.

    Hello.

    I have attached the sheet, but here is what i hope it can do.

    Certain job descriptions require certain training. Drivers needs these two particular trainings and an office employee only needs that training...

    I have a reference sheet with what trainings are required for what job. I then want the next chart with each employee name and subsequent job title to have the required trainings automatically checked. (i can take care of the conditional
    formatting after that)

    Thanks.

    Re: Does this go in the macro group?

    Put this formula in K6:

    =VLOOKUP($J6,$B$7:$E$9,MATCH(K$5,$B$6:$E$6,0),0)

    then copy across and down.

    Hope this helps.

    Chart needs to auto populate items from master referance chart based on job description.

    With a new but not so smooth title.


    Well, that worked real nice. Thanks. I really need to learn about this vlookup thing.

    Thanks as always, and maybe i need to read the form rules... :]

    Hi there.

    I am trying to get the last bit here, and i can quite get it to work.

    Please take a quick look at the sheet and let me know your thoughts. For some reason the cells aren't aligning properly. I need it on 2 different sheets, so the second sheet is the reference chart, the first sheet is the results.

    Thanks

    In the MATCH part of the formula, you want the range to start with C6 in the referance sheet:

    MATCH(E$5,referance!$C$6:$U$6,0)

    so make that change in red and then you can copy the formula across and down as required.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete
