Updates via several stages
I have a workbook created for each of several Bureaus. I then have a
Deputate Workbook that the corresponding Bureaus roll up into. I would like to create a Department Workbook that will pull from the Deputate Workbooks, however when i tried a rough sample, the Department Update will only work if you open the Deputate Workbooks and update them first. Is there a way, to set the Department Workbook to populate with the most recent data by only linking it to each of the Deputates, rather than the 25 individual Bureau's for each cell? I appreciate any assistance that can be provided. -- Scott |

And the Bureau files before that, of course. And you have to open them in Excel to do this, AFAIK. Perhaps you want to look into a macro to open all these files, calculate, then save and close them....to get all your updating finished easily. I had a system like this once, with over a dozen source files. I found it easiest to put this macro into my final summary file. I would run it before doing anything in the summary file to make sure it was updated. |

Is there any way you could provide assistance with the Macro? I've created
numerous in Access, but when I tried writing the statements in Excel, the normal statements i'm used to do not work. Thanks in advance for your assistance. -- Scott "Spiky" wrote: On Jun 19, 2:34 pm, Scott wrote: I have a workbook created for each of several Bureaus.
