I've been brought on last minute to sort out tent allocation for a festival of about 1500 people. Their ticket sales are a spreadsheet on Google Drive. I have never done this kind of thing before (I'm an English teacher), but I'm good with software, generally, and have experience with basic programming functions.
Tents will be allocated based on 3-day passes (sheet 1
), and 2-day passes (sheet 2
). The unique identifier is ticket number, with other details in separate fields.
Sheet 3
(my job) will show the individual tents, and who is inside.
I'll allocate a tent number in a new column within the sales sheets (sheets 1
and 2
- based on customer request). I want to parse these columns to sheet 3
, such that sheet 3
displays the tent number, and details of attendees inside that tent (using unique identifier of ticket number).
I'm guessing that each tent will be an array?
As an extra challenge, I want to bound the tents to limits (4-man, 6-, 10-man tent), so that if the number of occurrences of tent x exceeds its bounds, it returns an error.
