I have decided that i hate all time sheets
Too many with multiple entries in one cell
Requirements to cf all sorts of things
Dates entered as text
Merged cells
Times entered in stupid formats
There rant over!

Don't forget to mark threads as "Solved" if your problem has been resolved

Please take a moment to read the forum rules and then amend your thread title to something descriptive of your problem (think google search terms?). Once you have done this please send me a PM and I will remove this request. (Also, include a link to your thread - copy from the address bar)
haha j/k. yup I hear you. I have no great love of working with times anyway

1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

I think the biggest (most annoying) problem is that people have a really good idea of how they want their timesheets to look but if they know how they want them to work then they don't really need to post questions on the forum in the first place.
So it's a bunch of excel-newbies with very particular demands that don't understand how hard their badly-laid-out but nice-looking table-dashboard-hybrids are to use.
They're never very interesting questions where you feel clever solving it; it's just a formatting slog.
And the goalposts move really easily.
Every new generation of office worker needs to be taught all over again that form follows function, way too many times they approach from the opposite... and we help. (fail)
It's on us to politely point out the problem with the approach and offer correction to their process, then walk away calmly when they refuse. Timesheets... what an excellent model of this very problem. I echo your sentiments about them.
