Hello Everyone
I need to make an employee schedule in excel. I am not sure if it i
possible, but here are my constraints:
20 employees
5-6 different meeting locations (sm1, sm2, sm3, sm4, sm5, sm6) Thes
locations are scattered within our service area.
some employees can only meet at certain locations (ex. paul can meet a
either sm2 or sm3)
all employees are PT so they can only work on certain days or a certai
amount of days per week. (ex. paul can work up to 4 days a week and ji
can work only sat and fri)
I would like to make a program in excel that will take all thes
factors into consideration. EX. if i try to schedule paul on sm4 th
program will not let me do it or it will give a warning or if i try t
schedule paul for 5 days it will give me a warning.
It would also be great to have a counter that will show how many day
each employee has left to be scheduled for, EX: if i scheduled paul fo
2 days it will show that he can actually work 2 days more if i need hi
to.
I know this might be a lot, but i also know there are so many talente
people here so i am sure it is feasible. Please let me know if you kno
how to do this or if you could guide me through it.
or if you know about a different program that can solve this please le
me know
Thanks in advance

This can be done in Excel, but it is actually a problem that is more
appropriately solved with a database application such as Microsoft Access.
I've worked up a solution in Excel, if you'd like to examine it, just reply
to this posting and I'll put it up with some explanation on how it works.
It's a little complex, and definitely too much to explain in the space
available here. I can put the workbook up on my website and give you a link
to it. I'd put it up now but I haven't added any explanations to it to help
you understand what's going on.

I managed to put together some "how to use" info and a discussion of how it
works, and the file has been uploaded if you want it here:

Contact info is in the workbook if you need to ask about it specifically.
