Okay so I generally understand some of the concepts here. The VBA code that is written searches the particular date column and if it comes across any data in that row it records it in the printout sheet starting in Z1 and working on down, pulling the associated name in that row.

I guess where I am struggling is that if it finds nothing in the first row it records noting in Z1 of the printout sheet. So in the case of the date that has been shown it ends up skipping the first 7 lines of the Z column and finally recording the name of Derrick Bishop in Z8.

So in the actual printout what confuses me is how does the formula that is there know to skip the first 7 rows that no data exists and move to row 8. I would think that it would record no data in the first 8 rows. I guess I am really confused by how the formula knows to skip no data.

So then if i added more cells to create additional spaces, and use the fill handle its just going to produce the next number.

Still confused. Thank you for helping me learn this though because it has been interesting. I understand the worksheet a little better, but i admit that while i generally understand the concepts of the VBA code the specifics of the lingo that is being used is way over my head.
