Default Excel VBA - Copy cell value

Hi gs,
This sounds familiar to me. Ponder this approach:
I use a similar spreadsheet solution in that it collects
data from several multi-rows/columns 'detail sheets' on to
a multi-rows/columns 'summary sheet', then the 'summary
sheet' data gets collected by a 'master sheet', also
comprised of multiple rows/columns. It's all handled using
formulas, not macros. The 'detail sheets' receive data
input and the formulas update the other sheets
automatically. The formulas are simply copied across
and/or down respectively, for the number of rows/columns
required. This simplifies tasks, reduces file size because
the 'code' isn't necessary and, you can protect the cells
collecting the data. Writing code must reference the exact
cells to write to or you could get unexpected results.
Formulas are 'built-in' to the cells collecting the data
so if rows/columns get inserted or deleted, nothing gets
disturbed. This is much easier for spreadsheets that get
revised frequently due to changes in requirements, etc.
Excel on-line help is a very good source for assistance
with formulas. I use code as a last resort to simply
lengthy procedures, etc. because one thing that
continually pops up with code is backward compatibility
issues. This "=" works with all versions of Excel as far
as I know.
Regards, GS
