How to save only row changes to a new sheet
Hi, I'm working with a large worksheet(40 000+ rows). I would like to allow
the user to make data changes to cells and then only save those changed rows to a new spreadsheet. I know Tracking will keep track of the changed cells, but I want to actually copy the entire row to a new sheet. -- Tks, J Sears |
How to save only row changes to a new sheet
Personally, I find anything too automatic troublesome.
If I make a change to a row and the data gets copied to a different worksheet, then realize that I made a mistake and change the value back, the row would get copied over again. I think I'd do things differently. (This is just a suggestion. You can ignore it if you want.) I'd put a date/time stamp in a dedicated column of the input sheet. Then I'd apply data|Filter|autofilter. If I needed to see the rows that changed, I could filter to show just the changes from today (or yesterday or last week). If I needed to copy this to a different worksheet, I'd do all my data entry, then apply data|filter and just copy those visible rows to that other sheet (But I wouldn't separate my data!). If you want to try this, you may want to look at J.E. McGimpsey's routine: http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/timestamp.html And if you need code to do the copy|paste, you can record a macro when you do it manually and then tweak that recorded code. === Again, I'd do my best to keep the data in one location. It'll be a pain to have it in multiple spots. J Sears wrote: Hi, I'm working with a large worksheet(40 000+ rows).
