Hi :)
Wow! That really does sound like something that would be better handled by a
database. Plus it sounds as though you have already made the most difficult
step that most people have with databases which is the conceptualisation in
your brain. Most people never get that far.
Please forgive me my excitement but i just thought this was a heavy and
intractable spreadsheet issue which i tend to find very, very dull.
The Start sheet would be the table of data. All the other sheets would be
Forms/Reports built up from Queries. Initially people would probably feel more
comfortable using the Queries directly as they look like a spreadsheet.
FormsReports display the same info in a prettier gui so they might get
built-up later. Queries are probably easier to work with and are clearer about
exactly how they choose which data to show from the table. It's probably
easier to modify or tweak Queries if things change in the future.
I take it the information in Start is confidential? Is it possible for you
to let us see the formulas of 1 or 2 of the other sheets? or even just a
couple of the formulae from 1 of the sheets that reads the data? This list
doesn't handle attachments so either copy and paste a couple directly into
email/message or use Nabble?
Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, all of the spreadsheets are needed.
I have a main sheet named START wherein all of the data is entered, such
as names and birth dates. Then on each of the 35 sheets an array has been
created which shows all of the data that was entered in the sheet named
START. Butas each sheet is specific to a certain person (and not all
people) only that persons data will appear on a given sheet in the cells
that I want them to.
Here's how it appears- Spreadsheet at the top (starting at A1) (let's call
the sheet CARLTON) wherein all of the information from the sheet START
appears. Below that spreadsheet CARLTON with all of the data is an array
that shows ALL of the data from the sheet START. CARLTON has cells with
formulas that get the necessary information/data from the array below it.
Does that make any sense?
