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 -----Original Message----- I'm trying to copy the value of a cell reference("I3") from multiple worksheets into a summary worksheet in a relative column to each worksheet in the next available cell using a macro. would appreciate any help. gs --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ . |
