is it possible for a excel document to copy cells to another excel
I have created a timesheet in Microsoft Excel 2003
I have now created several mini timesheets with indiviual employees names on. I want an employee to update there mini timesheet which will automatically update the main original timesheet. currently i have all the excel documents open and in the main timesheet i am putting in each cell = the cell from one of the mini timesheets which is taking several hours. is there a quicker way? i if this should of been posted in a differnt place could you please tell me |

Hi
Excel can not copy stuff TO locations. She can only copy FROM places to where the = is. Which is what you do now. Macros can push information. A macro solution, mimicking, or even improving, your manual operations will help for a while. You don't say how big a company this is, but "hours" indicate "quite big". Excel is not the best storage application around, especially not if you keep data and intelligence/calculations/code/reports in the very same file. Sooner or later you may have to rethink the whole thing, and maybe along these lines: - Employees must have a tool to enter their time. Let us find or make the best tool for that. - This growing pile of data from all over the place must be collected and stored in something that handles storage. Let us find that thing. - You need something that can summarize and make reports from all that data. Let us find or build the best tool for that. The first and third tools can be anything; web applications, Excel files, tailored desktop tools, ... The middle one, storage, is almost always a database of some sort. HTH.

Perhaps something along the lines of the set-up
in the sample file below might also provide some ideas in summarizing from each employee's timesheet .. [ uses a OFFSET(INDIRECT(...),MATCH(...),MATCH(...)) construct ] Sample file is at: http://flypicture.com/p.cfm?id=45720 (right-click on the link "Download File" at the top of the page) File: TimesheetSummary_misc.xls -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "jenniss" wrote in message ...
