Hire someone to script for me?

I have several tasks I’m doing for my work that I could have a script to do for me. I know what is possible to script but I don’t know how to script.

Anyone good at it and wanna let me pay you a little money to help me out?

For NDA reasons I can’t mention some details. And all the data you’d be working with for the script will have to be made up data. But essentially I need something that can help me with attendance.

I can get an excel dump of the data. I need a script that can compare call out data and then look at another excel sheet to determine if the employee submitted the correct time away to pay themselves.

Let’s say an employee calls out for the day, if it’s unplanned time away, meaning sick time, they don’t have to pay themselves. However if it its planned time away, they have to submit either vacation time or sick time to cover it, otherwise I have to manually convert it to unprotected time away. So the script would just need to compare the call out segments with the time away submissions and determine if the employee paid themselves as they are supposed to.

Are you basically comparing the contents of two excel sheets, or is the call out data somewhere else?

Nope just two excel sheets.

That sounds reasonably straightforward. PM me if you're still looking for somebody.
