    Pay Reporting

    Looking for someone to provide advice please...

    I have enclosed a template (obviously replacing sensitive information with bogus info) to help you see what I am trying to do...

    My goal is to promulgate a database whereby;

    - Each pay period I extract a report from our system and copy it into the respective pay period tab (refer to P01 for example extract).
    - The information is then automatically married against the data in the ‘Report’ tab
    - If the data in the Pay Period tab does not marry with the report tab then the cell that contains the incorrect information changes colour (or something to identify a discrepancy)

    Ideally I intend on reducing the man hours involved in manually entering the data to conduct a check to ensure that all personnel receive the correct entitlements and are charged against the correct cost centre.

    Any advice (even a better way of displaying this info that is easy for me to report to Management) would be much appreciated!

    Re: Pay Reporting

    Hi eMJay,

    I'm sure I can help you, but i'm having a little trouble following some of the logic in 'Report'

    Where does POS# come from? Designation? Position Title? looks like maybe employee name was inadvertently not turned to bogus data on 'P01' but I assume that comes from column D, and employee # is column C, correct? What is going on with the blank values, like A14, C14 and E13? designing logical formulas around inconsistent data like that gets more challenging in a hurry... Is there something else you can tell me about what it means to have a blank employee ID that would help me determine what values should populate in G:L?

    Where did J15 and k12 come from? the 365.21 under "Rest.Allo" and the 487.55 in "Com. Pens" don't appear in P01... Are those logical entries?

    Is "Wage Type" consistent such that we can code logic based on those #'s? Are you ok with adding a 'helper' row to tie "Rent" to "3920"? this could be as simple as typing 3920 in cell H5 and making the text grey...

    The most challenging part is probably the last part of the request. Are there likely to be varying numbers of entries for each department? i.e. in future pay periods do you expect you may have more than one entry in 14440? If so, you'll need to insert / delete rows each month as needed. This can be automated with VBA, but my skills in that department are pretty limited. I can, however set up some conditional formatting so that rows on 'P01' which are not represented in 'Report' turn red, so that will flag you to add rows as needed...

    also - can employees appear in multiple departments... i.e. will you ever see Joe Bloggs in both 14440 and 14441?
