I have a request to try to create an "Exceptions" summary sheet for a work book that is "designed" to have new sheets created for each 'instance' of a winter event throughout the winter season.
Before anyone suggests thathtis would be better to be created in a database, yes, I know, and a database was actually created and used for three years prio to this, but the managers felt for some reason that this was too complicated and limiting for their purposes, so they went ahead and created an Excel workbook instead.
The 'design' of the workbook is for the user to copy a template sheet to the end of the list of all the worksheets. The managers want to be able to generate a running report from these worksheets that shows a list of all trucks that have used more than the 'alotted' amount of material during the snow event.
I have included a sample of what the users want for their exceptions sheet, and a number of sample 'incident' sheets. I need to be able to check each sheet for any truck that has material usage over the allowed limit, then copy the date, foreman info, truck number and material amount to the summary sheet.
I have thought about trying an =indirect() formula,or perhaps a =vlookup formula, but I just don't know how to get them to work through a reference to multiple sheets...
