working with employee tenure and grouping

[Casey Tremper]

I have a database with employee name in column 1, hire date in column
2, and termination date in column 3. I need to be able to provide
reports showing who has been with the company <30 days, 30-60 days,
61-90 days and over 90 days. THIS part I have figured out and have it
so that a separate sheet in the workbook contains the categories which
are automatically updated as people are hired and fired.

what I have NOT been able to figure out is how to allow the user to
get a REPORT of everyone in whichever of those categories she
selects. that is, to click on ONE thing and get a list of everyone
with the company for <30 days all set to print.

thoughts??

Pivot tables or else the SUMPRODUCT function.

Which sheet do you want the report to come from? You have 2 sheets? 4? If
that "other sheet" is just one sheet, how are you marking people with
different tenures? I suspect that AutoFiltering would probably work pretty
good if you have a column that indicates which category an individual falls
into.
