    Leave of Absence tracker--modifying data in one sheet due to change in another

    Each day at work, I get an email on who will be out on temporary leave of absences. I paste these rows into a large spreadsheet that keeps track of everybody out. The row includes a start date and return date. I added a custom drop-down at the end of the row for whether or not the worker returned to work on their return date; a 'Yes' or 'No' drop-down. I'm planning on having another sheet that filter who has not returned to work yet.

    Is it possible to change the value across sheets? Please see my attached example

    You might consider producing the table on the Part B sheet using Get & Transform (aka Power Query), although I'll imagine that someone will write you a FILTER function based formula before too long.
    While not completely automatic it will only require that you select any cell in the green/white table > right click the mouse and select Refresh when any change is made to the table on the Part A sheet.
    The Power Query Advanced Editor code to produce the green/white table is:
    let
        Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"First Name", type text}, {"Last Name", type text}, {"Start Date", type date}, {"Return to Work Date", type date}, {"Returned", type text}}),
        #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([Returned] = "No"))
    in
        #"Filtered Rows"
    Let us know if you have any questions.
    Consider taking the time to add to the reputation of everybody that has taken the time to respond to your query.
