I'm working to build a couple of workbooks that contains info on
students. The first workbook contains students first name, last name,
birthdate, etc. On this workbook a new sheet will be added every day to
collect info for the current day (each sheet will be named by the
current date). On the second workbook (which is already existing), I
would like to compile data from specific columns from each sheet (from
workbook 1). I found a macro (which is shown below), and I'm not even
sure if this is the correct one. I may be asking a bit much, but I'm
having 3 problems: (1. I'm not sure how to set it to pull the info from
each sheet in workbook 1. (2. Workbook 2 has links to graphs (on sheet
2, in workbook 2), and I'm not sure how to make sure those links are not
removed. (3. Is there a way to set this so it automatically sends the
info every time info (and a new sheet)is added in workbook 1? This is a
lot but I figured I'd ask everything all at once to get a clear
understanding.
