I'm creating a spreadsheet for our maintenance facility. I have a worksheet that will have the standard input for a garage that I programmed using VLOOKUP. Within this worksheet I also have drop downs to select the type of work performed on various vehicles i.e. "Replace Alternator, "Replace Brake Shoes" and so on. There are several departments that use this service. Public Works, Park Department, Inspection Department etc.
In creating a report the manager wants to break it down by department of the repairs made. So what I need is for excell to read about 10 cells and list them in a separate worksheet.
a portion of the worksheet looks like this:
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Electric
Fuel Sys
Brakes
Drive Train
Tires
Equip
Cool Sys
Each title has a drop down box that lists various repairs.
The report looks like this:
Public Works Department Vehicles Repaired or Serviced
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
On each line I want to automatically copy the text from the Corrective Action drop down box. There may be one repair or four repairs. There will be more than one worksheet also!
Is there a way to automatically copy what the mechanic chose in the drop down, transfer it to the report and list each repair?
I can make separate excel worksheets for each department within the report, which I think would be easier than trying to get excel to split the department by the "IF" function. Any ideas?
Here's the top part of the report.
