    Streamlining - Advice required please

    Hi All,

    I have a large spreadsheet that I am looking to streamline and remove two sheets and would like some input, but before I do it will probably be easier to explain he sheet and how it works.

    The purpose of the sheet is to find a persons preferred postcode and whether they are working and match the two without duplicating names, but matching different names if more than one of the same postcode is present

    So Here how it works sheet by sheet, starting with
    Any data in green is user editable

    DA Schedule

    Is the Rota for each persons availability indicated by an X under each day of the week, Column M has a formula to list an X for each person based on todays DAY

    Currently Columns I:L are blank for postcodes
    This is how I think the sheet can be streamlined

    Postcode By DA
    Persons Name is listed in Column B, postcode in column C. the name is repeated upto four times if a person has more than one different postcode.

    Column A lists whether the person is available from finding the X in DA Schedule Column M via a lookup query

    Column D is related to the index
    This sheet is one of the ones I would like to remove and instead of preferred postcodes on this page have them listed in DA Schedule Column I:L. But I can not seem to make this happen without stopping the integerity of Route Allocation

    DA Available Coverage
    Is the information of all Names with an X in Postcode by DA

    Another sheet I'd like to remove - but again I cannot without stopping the integerity of Route Allocation

    Route Allocation
    This is the Main Page,

    Column A - is the Route No (User editable)

    Column B - is the postcode that copied in

    Column C - Co Name (Not relevant to this task)

    Column D - is the matched name from columns E:H, without duplicating the name and matching another name of the postcode is listed a second, third or fourth time

    Column E:H is where it looks at DA Available coverage and over the four columns will list each person that want the postcode listed in column B

    - - - - - - - - - - -
    So here in lies the streamline attempt I am trying to remove sheets DA Available Coverage and Postcodes by DA to reduce the user input and make the sheet smaller. to do this I need sheet Route Allocation to find the data direct from DA Schedule and not Postcodes by DA.

    In doing this I can not loose the integrity of the current formula that matches a person against each postcode without duplicating the name but finding other names if the postcode IS duplicated.

    Any help will be appreciated.
