    Question How can I pull data from one tab to another if a date is entered into a certain field?

    Afternoon all,
    First of all apologies if there is a straight forward simple answer to this but I have attempted to search for it on various sites but am struggling to explain what I’m looking to do in "excel language"!

    Ok, I run a spreadsheet that records the details of candidates that are in the process of being interviewed for positions at my company. The workbook has 8 tabs, each relating to a certain discipline, i.e. Design, Project Management, Admin......
    On each tab i record the following...

    Name, Position, Date CV sent, Sent to (managers name) Interview date, Offer date & Start Date

    I now need to create an additional tab that records the candidates who have been offered a position but are yet to start. The idea being that as people start work the drop off the list and newly offered candidates are added on.
    This tab will need to record the following...

    Name, Position, Start Date & Reporting to(managers name)

    The question is, how can I link the "starters tab" to pull through the information required from the other tabs if their start date is in the future?

    Sorry if this is unclear! Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

    Hello, and welcome to the forum.

    First of all the bad stuff - could you read the forum rules and give your thread a title which describes your problem, as per rule 1, please?

    OK, on with your problem - what you're asking for isn't impossible, but it would be much easier for us to help you if you could post an example workbook (obviously with any real data replaced with made-up stuff).

    You say that candidates will drop off the new sheet as they start work, but will their details still be recorded on the interview sheets? This makes a big difference to how your solution will have to work.

    Thank you for your reply. I will change the title of the post and will make sure I read the forum rules, sorry for that.
    I have attached a simple version of the sheet. The data will be input into the first tabs (Stress & Thermal - ME)and all information will stay on there no matter if the candidate is successful or not. The starters tab will be locked and I'm looking for the information that is input on the other tabs to be pulled through to the starters if there is a date in the "Start date" column.

    The starters tab needs to list the candidates that are due to start with us in the future and once their start date has passed, that entry needs to be removed.

    Hope this helps!!!

    Thanks again!!

    Thanks for the title change.

    I've returned your spreadsheet with some formula in to automatically populate the starters sheet. It uses a control sheet to keep track of some numbers, but this sheet can be hidden away. Columns E & F on the starters sheet are also intended to be hidden (or you can move them to other columns, if you don't mind updating the cell references contained in column F).

    Does this meet your requirements?
