Hi,

Would greatly appreciate some help, as I am certain it can be done.
I have to separate workbooks, one is simply contains monthly return
data named "Returns.xls" and the second,"Performance.xls", calculates
monthly, quarterly, and annualized returns etc based upon the data in
returns.xls in a report and printable format.

Each month a new row data will added to returns.xls. For example in
column A you have the date for which it relates, e.g. 3/31/05, 4/30/05
etc, in Row 2 you have the name of the various securities which
stretches out approximately 30 columns at the moment, but there could
be more added.

Example of what it looks like:
ROW Column A Column B Column C
2 Date ABB Ltd HSBC
....
265 5/31/05 1.5% 0.9%

In this case Row 265 was added

What I am struggling with is how to update the second workbook
Performance.xls to automatically reflect the new row of data. I would
prefer it that you first input the data in Returns.xls, and that On
Close of Returns.xls, workbook Performance.xls is updated.

Secondly, when it updates it needs to update in 2 places in Workbook
Performance.xls.
1) is simply a mirror image of the worksheet in Returns.xls
2) That each new cell of return data is: +1. For example using ABB
which had 1.5% it would be 1+1.5% = 101.5% for the month ending
5/31/05.

Thank you!! :) I have tried and can use simple if formulas in excel,
but I want and need cells in the sheets that are updated in
Performance.xls to be blank if there is return data entered yet.

Once again thank you!
