    (Solved) Rotating overtime list by hours?

    I am trying to create an Excel spreadsheet for a rotating overtime list. I took a Microsoft Office Class back in the late 90's so please be gentle if my thinking is incorrect. I am using Excel 2007. The list has 10 persons labeled by their name. Each name has a number associated with it which represents their total hours of overtime. I have setup a workbook with 11 sheets so far. Each person has their own sheet where hours will be recorded. I have then linked their total hour cell to a master hours sheet. I would like the master hours sheet to rotate the names and hours associated with the names automatically when the data in those cells is changed/updated. I would like the list to sort so that the person with the lowest number of hours is on top. I am almost there but I just can't figure out how to get the name cells to match up to the hours cells once they have been sorted. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached what I have so far, I would like the names to show up in column I in association with their hours count in column J. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I had to copy the names from Column A to Column H ... but they could be turned white to disappear.

    Then added ... =VLOOKUP(INDEX($E$2:$E$11,$G11),$E$2:$H$11,4,FALSE) to Column I
    But be sure to update your $Gxx part to match what you have in Column J.

    ... I liked how you got rid of the duplicate value issue that comes up with your Column E.

    @ hard2figure...... Thanks for the help so far. I can not take credit for the logic block as I copied it from a post I found on the internet. I tried to use your formula but I still can not get the Initials to rotate with the associated hours totals as seen on the Master Hours Sheet In column I. How do I link the name with the hours total next to it so that it rotates with it as the hours change? Thanks again for the help.

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    I have made some modifications to your file, see if you can work with them. Instead of 1 sheet/EE, I created a Data sheet - you enter all date in here. Then I created a nee Summary sheet, and pulled in all unique names, added up their hours - and added a tie-break, just in case (yellow table). You can hide this if you want, it is just to get the data.

    Then I created your summary table, ranked low to high, with the names

    @ hard2figure and @FDibbins Thank you for all the help. I was actually able to get the formula to work for me that hard2figure had recommended. I also think I may use the formulas that you added FDibbins for another part of the payroll sheet. Thank you so much for all the help. Here is the final setup I have where I am able to get the initials to rotate with the total hours.
    Thanks again.

    Quick question,

    Do you know why the formula works or that it just works? This is EXACTLY what I need but when it comes to understanding why I am lost.

    How would I use this same formula but if I want to add a job. Say its a 8 hours job on Saturday. I want it to determine who should be asked next and also determine who can't work it because of their schedule and hours of service rules?

    First of all, welcome to the forum.

    This thread is approximately 3 years old. Adding on to a thread with a problem of your own is called hijacking and is against the forum rules. You should start a new thread of your own describing the exact problem that you want to solve. Include an Excel workbook that has enough data to show the problem and a mock-up of what you envision as the solution.
    Directions to upload a workbook:
    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Did you figure how to make the hours go from low to high?
