Excel Workbook with pre-constructed worksheets

Question

Hi. I am new kid on the block. Forgive me if I am ignorant. Very exited to use this forum. I hope it can help other shy people like me.
I want to create a work book in excel 2010 that uses excel work sheets that already have data and formulas.
The first sheet contains a work schedule for a month for all the staff. The different shifts are indicated as alphabetic letters (normally 1 or 2 letters i.e. D for Day Shift, J for early morning Shift, N for night shift, etc. Hyperlinks already exist on
the names of the staff on the schedule so that they can receive e-mailed updates of their shifts.
The second sheet contains a timesheet or attendance register where the start and end times (including breaks) of any shift is logged. There is a formula to calculate the decimal value of the time worked ( i.e 14:00 - 16:30 = 2.50 hours). This sheet contains
all the formulas to add all the times and work out overtime, unsociable hours credits, double time, etc.
I would like to know how to match the D on the schedule sheet to these times populated in their own cell on the timesheet: 8.00   13.00  and 13.30  16.30 (per 24-hour clock); the J on the schedule to 4.15   11.45 on the timesheet,
etc. so that when one types the proper letter or combination of letters/numbers on the shift schedule sheet, the times are populated on the next sheet (timesheet) in their own cells.
To me this is a sticky one, but i feel that this will open so many doors if it can work....... please help.
