    Question Set up Excel to display the same columns in multiple worksheets

    Putting together an excel file to be used as a tracker, where the first sheet will contain a list of names and a summary of the occurrences recorded on the other sheets, and a sheet for each month of the year for recording occurrences as the year goes on. How do I get the monthly sheets to reflect the master list of names? Right now if I need to add another name, inserting a row on the master list throws off the rest of the book that same row doesn't insert through the workbook taking everything out of alignment unless I go into each sheet individually and add a row and insert the formula to copy off the master list which is time consuming

    Have you looked at PIVOT TABLE? It could save you lots oif issues.
    You would only need 2 sheets. One to record your occurences and the other would be the pivot table.
    What are the occurences you want to track?

    Actually, no the thought of a pivot table hadn't occurred to me. Not sure it's the solution. Putting together a workbook to track attendance occurrences for a list of staff

    That means you would have those column in the occurences sheet:
    Name
    Date
    In
    Out
    Can you complete this list?

    Re: Set up Excel to display the same columns in multiple worksheets

    I've attached a sample of the worksheet, had to strip it down to make it small enough for upload. There would normally be a
    sheet for each month of the year, the "attendance tracker" sheet would show the totals as the year went on and the "employee list" sheet would be the master list of names.

    Re: Set up Excel to display the same columns in multiple worksheets

    I did not know if you were open to a new approach but here is a suggestion.
    In the first sheet, you'll have a list of employees along with a list of department and a list of cause of occurrences.

    In the second sheet, you'll have you month or year resumé. If you enter a date in cell C1 (like 2014/01, just the year and the month), the table will show you the data for that particular month. If you erase the value in cell C1, you'll see the word "ANNUAL" appears in cell B1 telling you that the table now shows you the annual results. DO NOT ERASE CELL B1 as it is used as a flag in the formulas.

    In the third sheet, you'll have all the occurrences in one sheet. You select the employee's name from a validation list then you enter the date of the occurrence and its legend.
    That's all.

    The list of employees to maintain is in your Summary sheet.
    Hope you'll like this.
    If not,it could be really hard to do this with a macro.
