    Lookup

    I have a large excel data file that contains a list of employees and online trainings that they have or have not completed. I need to see if there is a fairly easy way (would prefer a formula vs. VBA) to have excel search this file for the employees and which trainings they have completed and format the information into a different sheet in the workbook. The data file is exported from another program that only returns information about trainings that an employee has completed. However, we are only tracking certain trainings (i.e. an employee may have taken 50 trainings but we only want to know if they passed/failed 10 of them.

    Example of Data File:

    Employee Name Training Course Pass/Fail
    Smith, Joe Safety 101 PASS
    Smith, Joe HR Policies PASS
    Smith, Joe Benefits & You PASS
    Turner, Amy Safety 101 FAIL
    Wilson, Helen Safety 101 PASS

    Example of Data File:
    
    Employee Name      Training Course      Pass/Fail
    Smith, Joe         Safety 101            PASS 
    Smith, Joe         HR Policies           PASS
    Smith, Joe         Benefits & You        PASS 
    Turner, Amy        Safety 101            FAIL 
    Wilson, Helen      Safety 101            PASS
    I would use an approach like this on the "Tracking Sheet". It will give you the PASS or FAIL on the items you're watching and an #N/A for tests the person hasn't taken yet.
