Default A table gets updated every day, I want to take a snap shot of each

I import data from Lotus Notes into an Excel 2007 table through a link. I use
many COUNTIF statements to give me a count of records with certain criteria.
I want to copy the count results into another worksheet to track that days
results. The next day, I refresh the data and it calculates new counts. I now
want to take a snapshot of that days counts and log them in the worksheet.
This will happen day after day so that I can chart a trend. My problem is, I
can't figure out how to make a running log of the counts day after day, when
I refresh the same data table each day. I want to automate the log.

Anyone ever done this before and can give me some hints.

Assuming a worksheet with a list of dates (Jan 1 through Dec 31) in A1
through A365. Column B contains the following formula:

IF(A1=TODAY(),data_cell_reference,""), but if I do this, the previous day's
calculation will blank out the data. I want the data from the previous days
snapshot to remain. Other attempts I've tried create a circular reference.
