Okay, so I'm currently trying to learn as much as possible about excel for my job. I'm really confident in most of the mathematics/formulas as well as conditional formatting and creating graphs of my data.

I need help with the data tab and specifically data validation. From my understanding of it so far, I can use data validation to create a list/combo box from a range of cells in my spreadsheet.

I'd like to have a setup like this:
Sheet 1 - List box of employee names and a second one with the list of projects.
Sheet 2 - A complete schedule of what days people work with what project they are working on that ONLY shows what I have selected on the first sheet. (IE: Hide cells that are not selected)

So I need to know how to program these list boxes to change my spreadsheet based on what is selected. From the little bit I can tell so far, HLOOKUP and VLOOKUP can pull my selections from the list box on the second sheet and I could generate it through these functions, but I don't really know how they work that well. Any tips? Thanks!

Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

Isn't there any other program to do this than Excel? Like something dedicated to personnel management? (I remember a friend of mine write something like that for me - it was pretty neat as it even included the bar code readers to automatically fill some of the data (like work start-end))
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.
