Hi Everyone,
I have a merged dataset that combines several forms that my coworkers filled out a regarding the time they started and finished their shifts.
I have set up the data refresh so it continuously updates the information every half hour from One drive.
ISSUE: I asked the coworkers to fill this out every day they worked however there are some that often forget.
I would like to create 2 virtual tables:
VirtualTBL1 = list of employees who worked (filled out the sheet) TODAY()
VirtualTBL2 = list of employees who worked (filled out the sheet) the working day before
Then I would like to compare the 2 Virtual Tables and return all the rows that exist in VirtualTBL2 and don´t show in VirtualTBL1.
( So i could see who forgot to fill out the form or any new employees)
Here is a Mock Data.
| Date | Start | Finish |
Paul | 09/ July /2021 (friday) | 08:00 | 12:00 |
John | 09/ July /2021(friday) | 08:00 | 12:00 |
Marie | 09/ July /2021(friday) | 08:00 | 12:00 |
Paul | 12/ July /2021(monday) | 08:00 | 12:00 |
John | 12/ July /2021(monday) | 08:00 | 12:00 |
Result I expect:
On 12/July/2021 (Monday), at the end of the Day, I should see a list with Marie’s name in it.
Paul, John and Marie worked the last working day (list with 3 names) compared to
a list that says that only Paul and John worked today() ‘12/July/2021’..
Therefore, only Marie’s name will be missing and that’s what I should see
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Jihwan_Kim, one again thank you for the quick response.
Is there a way that I can show a list of only the people who "Forgot to fill in"? Instead of showing John Maire and Paul, show only Maire..
The way it's set up now, it shows a list of all the coworkers who have ever appeared in the list.
The issue is I have some coworkers who have filled out this forms before but left the company over a month ago. I don't want to see that person's name in the list, since it will always show that he "Forgot to fill in" since he no longer works with us.
Thats why I thought of comparing only with the ones who filled in the forms the day before vs who filled in today(). Would it be possible?
