    How to automatically update info based on blank cell

    Hi

    I would like to create a payslip that automatically updates. I have a table with a breakdown of the different pay items listed for each month (lets call this sheet 'capture sheet'), I would like a separate sheet with the printable payslip to update various values once I fill in one or more of the blank cells on 'capture sheet' for the relevant month. Is this possible?

    Hi.

    This is how I would approach that task.

    In a workbook. Sheet1 is your input sheet.

    Sheet2 is your payslip this should take your input data and format it as you want it printed.

    Create a macro to copy your payslip into a new sheet as a record and to Print it.

    This is quite simple to achieve.

    But you need to create the sheets first.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    Hi mehmetcik

    Thank you for responding, please see the attached. The info at the sheet such as name etc would stay standard unless the employee changes. If I wanted to update pay items for November now, I would like the info to auto calculate for the payslip info table at the bottom of the capture sheet and then pull through to the printable payslip thereafter. Is this possible?Payslipeg.xlsx

    How many Staff are we talking about?

    It seems to me that you are not ready to print the payslip yet.

    Your database should contain all your staff details
    Changing the staff members name by typing a few characters should pull up all the records for that staff member
    then selecting the month should populate the payslip

    You haven't got that bit working yet. so going further would be pointless all the work would need to be redone.

    Please concentrate on putting all the employee records in a single database.

    I will then create the search functionality for you.

    Hi mehmetcik

    The payslip is for one staff member, sorry, I should have made it clear before. The example I have given shows the basic output, there are some other entries for bonus etc that are not worthwhile automating, the important things would be as shown in the attachment as the printable sheet.
