Multi-Criteria Test - then put an X in a cell

Hello,

I am having trouble creating a macro that will work through all employees in a list, and put one "X" in a particular cell of a multi-column checklist based upon certain criteria. (see attached image.)

One number that will be required is a year that is entered by the user on a different page This value is found in this cell: MeetingDataSheet!B3

Here is the criteria:

If the YEAR cell on the employee list is empty OR an X is found in the IN THE USA cell of the same page, go to the next employee.

Otherwise
If the value in the MeetingDataSheet!B3 field - the year in the YEAR field is > 5 then put an X in the REQUIRED field, then go to the next employee.

If the value in the MeetingDataSheet!B3 field - the year in the YEAR field is 5 or less, then put an X in the NOT REQUIRED field, then go to the next employee.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

Hiya, something like this may work for you, you may need to adjust for your specific configuration--

Sorry about that. I hope this helps. The 2nd page of the Excel workbook shows the page BEFORE any thing has been done. The 3rd page shows what the page should look like with a macro that worked!

Thank you,
Mike

If a formula solution is acceptable then the following formulas display the same results as those shown on the "What-Finished-Should-Look-Like" sheet:
E5 (copied down to E12): =IF(OR($C5="",$D5<>""),"",IF(MeetingDataSheet!$B$3-5>=VALUE(LEFT($C5,4)),"X",""))
F5 (copied down to F12): =IF(OR($C5="",$D5<>""),"",IF(MeetingDataSheet!$B$3-5< VALUE(LEFT($C5,4)),"X",""))
Let us know if you have any questions.

Wow! Thank you very much!! This is extremely helpful!
