copy cells daily and automatically
I am trying to find a way to copy a short range each day with the TODAY()
instruction. The real challenge I think is although the destination is always the same ( a range of 7), the source will change each day. In other words, on May 1st, cells F4:F10 would appear in cells K12:K18. Followed by May 2nd cells B12:B18 would appear in K12:K18 and so on. I am trying to get a list of 7 names per day to appear in a single master list in another sheet. I know this is a tough one. Hope someone can help? Richard |

copy cells daily and automatically
Here is a solution for a single cell, K12, the other six are similar. We
build a small table somewhere, say Z1 thru Z31, that contains the source addresses. So enter: F4 in cell Z1 B12 in cell Z2 .. .. .. Now we can use the day of the month to index into the Z-Table to get the proper source address. So on May 1st we would use Z1 to tell us the source should be cell F4, etc. In K12 enter: =INDIRECT(INDEX(Z1:Z31,DAY(TODAY()),1)) Similar approach for K13, K14, ..... An interesting question. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200851 "RJJ" wrote: I am trying to find a way to copy a short range each day with the TODAY() instruction.

Not sure I understand with regards to the "source addresses". Let me clarify
my question first. I am looking at a calendar set up on my sheet, (1) sheet per month. Let's use May. Cell F4 contains a date (May 1st), Cell G4 contains May 2nd, down (8) rows to begin the next week so A12 contains May 3rd and so on. Below each cell that contains the date are 7 cells that contain names. Employee 1, 2, 3....7. It's these "7 names per date" that I need displayed elsewhere. So, is the source address only the dated cell? "Gary''s Student" wrote: Here is a solution for a single cell, K12, the other six are similar.

OK, I tried to set up a test example. I created a list of names (Employee 1,
Employee 2, etc..) in a column. These names were in W3:W33. In an adjascent cell I entered =INDIRECT(INDEX(W3:W33,DAY(TODAY()),1)) The result in the formulated cell is #REF. What did I do wrong? I appreciate your help. "Gary''s Student" wrote: Here is a solution for a single cell, K12, the other six are similar.
