Due date summary page for multiple sheets

**missd** · 05-29-2013, 07:05 AM

Hi

I have numerous sheets (one for each project) with a list of due dates of actions on each.
I would really like to have a summary page that shows only actions (from all projects) due this week/next week.
How do i go about doing this?

Thanks very much!

Do you have a sample file that you can upload? You can also add an output sheet showing us how you want to obtain the output.

To Attach a File:

1. Click on Go Advanced
2. In the frame Attach Files you will see the button Manage Attachments
3. Click the button.
4. A new window will open titled Manage Attachments - Excel Forum.
5. Click the Browse... button to locate your file for uploading.
6. This will open a new window File Upload.
7. Once you have located the file to upload click the Open button. This window will close.
8. You are now back in the Manage Attachments - Excel Forum window.
9. Click the Upload button and wait until the file has uploaded.
10. Close the window and then click Submit.

Hi

So here is a very basic example of what i want to create.
The summary page would highlight anything overdue and anything due that week across all projects, rather than me having to go into each worksheet to look.

Thanks for the help!example workbook due summary.xlsx

To calculate overdue records, do you want all records containing a date prior to the current date and where the status is not showing as "Complete" ?

To calculate this weeks' records, do you want all records containing a date from today till the next 6 days and where the status is not showing as "Complete" ?

HI Arlu

YOu are a star.

Just a couple of small things.
In the overdue column in summary, it isnt picking up a couple of tasks where the status is overdue. I only want it to be ignored if it says complete or hold. This may also apply to the due this week section, only ignore task if says complete or hold.

Also the columns on the summary sheet are out by one as it doesnt transport the date column which is the date the task was set.

Are these minor changes that are easy to make?
Thanks so far :-)

Oops i forgot mention the most important part

Your dates are formatted as 28.05.2013. You need to change it to 28-05-2013 otherwise the macro will not recogize the dates.

Also, the macro is asking to copy the entire row, so all the columns will be copied across.
