I am creating a prospect database of sorts that is based on one master list, on it's own separate sheet. Each employee has their own sheet indicating which prospects they are courting.
I would like for my employees to pick a prospect on their sheet, and for it to show up on the master list that they have taken the prospect.
I also have a notes column that I would like updated on the master list as they input notes on their sheet.
Right now I have a validation list they can use to select a prospect. How can I have the master list updated to indicate the prospect is taken, once the employee selects the prospect on their sheet, from the validation list?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
 
Hi,

FIRST PRIORITY. Read and understand...


Then you will understand why you should not have separate sheets for each whatever.

Modify your MASTER to include EmployeeID and Comments.

Then, your application could be a simple as using the AutoFilter to display any Employees data.

Thanks Skip,
I thought I was making it more complicated than I needed.
You proved it.
