Dear All, Kindly suggest how to start with. i am updating leaves for employees. if they applied in system no problem, if they not applied i need to apply on behalf of them. there wiil be lot leaves to be applied. it was major problem in consolidating leave data., so i need to automate the process of applying leave.
Problem description : 1) We take dump from some excel files in one folder,which will be kept in local server. i need to collate all the excel books in to one sheet(like master sheet). 2) based on condition i need to count rows,find duplicates and eliminate them and arrange in clean format. 3) In master sheet have records(means, each row treated as one record). i need to distribute those records among 10 associates, based on condition.an automatic mail need to be sent to each associate with distributed list of records. 4) associates process the records and sent those records, here i need to collate again those files and find the updation of status of each record here i need to find. a) how many records sent to each associate. b) how many they processed c) how many records did they send back d) pending records with them 5) if each associate update the records, i need to find the updation status of each record here i need to find a) need to find how many records received and processed.and sent back to server folder. Format of Records : Unique Id Emp id Date Type of leave Applied No of days status Remarks Processed date 1 123 1/1/2008 vacation 1 Appiled EL NA 2/17/2009 2 234 1/2/2008 SICK 0.5 Already applied Error 2/18/2009 3 345 1/3/2008 ML 1 Appiled EL Error 2/19/2009 4 345 1/4/2008 vacation 1 Appiled EL NA 2/19/2009 5 345 1/5/2008 SICK 1 Already applied NA 2/19/2009 6 678 1/6/2008 vacation 1 Appiled EL NA 2/19/2009 Requirement : A) I don't know how to generate continuous Unique ID to each row( each record). B) No idea how to distribute records automatically. example: if records received is 100 each associate will get 10 records normally , but here based on Emp id's , the records need to be separated in such a way that, like in those 100 records received there might be 20 employees in that, which means for each Emp ID there will be one or more records avaliable. so, distribution should be done based on Emp ID and no records are distributed in way like , if one EmpI ID has 40 records those records should not be distributed normally,i.e 10 records to cach associate.itshould be distributed as a whole to associates. C) need to generate reports based on dump recived. D) tracking need to done i.e ,suppose ,if leaves are already applied for that day. if we recive the same record again in feature. I kindly request you, suggest me how can i start automation. i have little knowledge on macro's and VBA coding. trying to learn now. waiting for your valuable suggestions. -- Thanks& Regards, Mahesh.Pelluri --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
