I am running a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) with dynamic data updates that I want
to capture production data toward the end of a shift before it resets for the next shift. The objective is to capture data from a source file and save it somewhere else for historical purposes. Below was my idea on how this might be done; however, if you offer a better solution, please let me know. My thought was to schedule a task linked to Excel to launch in the last minute of the shift every day. As part of the process of executing the task tied to opening the file (using a VB module tied to "ThisWorkbook" in a file called Prod Data.xls), I want to execute a macro to go to the source file (called "Scoreboard.xls" and worsheet called "Prod-Eff") and copy all the data on that worksheet into "Prod Data.xls". After copying and pasting into "Prod Data.xls", the macro would execute a "Save As..." command to save it into another directory for historical purposes. Essentially, the idea is to use the scheduled task Excel file (Prod Data.xls) as a conduit to retrieve the source data (without affecting that worksheet from continuing its updating), save and store the data into another folder. Finally, I want the "Prod Data.xls" conduit file to close after completing the task - until the next day when the scheduled task executes again. Can someone help me with the Module1 code that I must write that will be tied to the Scheduled Task "Prod Data.xls" file? Again, I know it must be tied to VBAProject (Prod Data.xls) and attached to "ThisWorkbook" to ensure the macro runs upon opening. Sorry for being so wordy - but I wanted to try to clearly explain my idea. I advance, thanks for your support. |
