2.  Employee Permissions/sign-off forms are
important for verifying user authorizations
within businesses. Unfortunately, outputting
these forms causes them to reach ~100-250
pages in length of pure excel sheet.
 I proposed and implemented a means to
automate this monotonous process; cut
training and process time to manually
process these almost entirely.
Overview

3.  Identify necessary data within sign-off
reports.
 Create and document VBA Modules.
 Process documents through modules
created.
 Verify and crosscheck documents to
solidify process.
 Document and create instruction manual
for usage.
