Auto-populate other cells based on dates

F

Freddy

Microsoft Visual Basic 6.5 on Microsoft Excel 2002 SP3. I'd like assistance
in writing code to auto-populate other cells based on a column of dates. The
purpose is to determine what slots need to be filled for scheduling purposes.
There are a total of, for example, 15 slots to be filled per date.
Essentially, this is my thought process. I believe each date per row needs to
be evaluated to see where it fits in a scheduling template which would be
created by the user initially selecting a date using a defined name table
then I would have the cells underneath fill in automatically 15 times then
the 16th cell down would be the originally selected date plus one day; this
last step would be repeated for a week. Now, from another worksheet within
the workbook, after sorting records by date, then time, then city, I would
these copy rows into a worksheet named "Scheduler".

this is a big project. Is that why you posted it three times?

basically, unless you are very much more specific and actually have a
defined problem, I very much doubt anybody will do this work for you.

Microsoft's Discussion Group Web Site reported at least 3 times that my
attempted post failed due to connection failures. So what happens "behind the
scenes" is just that. Unfortunately, everyone sees just the end result which
reflects bad on me. It is not a big project. Anyway, on to more important
matters.

Based on Columns A, B, C, and D, as shown below, the user selects the date
using a data validation scheme in the cell where you see the date "Thu,
10/22/09" under the column header "Select Start Date". The 6 cells below said
data are filled in automatically using the formula "=A2+1", "=A3+1", etc. The
other 3 columns labeled "Date", "Time", and "Service City", are a result of a
copy of said data from another worksheet named "SourceData".

(Columns A, B, C, and D, located in a worksheet named "Scheduler".)

The goal now is to evaluate and compare the dates in Column B with the
scheduling range of dates in Column A then copy/auto-populate the values in
Columns B, C, and D, to a template as shown below:Any empty slots would be
what the user would use as a basis to make phone calls and present the
customer with said slots to fill. Note, I've shortened the number of rows in
this reply for obvious reasons.

(Columns H, I, J, and K of the same worksheet named "Scheduler".)

I would include the worksheet as an attachment if someone would be kind
enough to instruct me. Thank you.
