Update and Retain Prior Data
I have a fairly robust dashboard that is to be used by novice Excel users.
All the "backend" data that populates the dashboard is pulled from hidden tabs. The dashboard measures a full year's performance to LY, by month with the user entering each month's data. To make it user friendly I would like to provide them with a simple seven or eight box entry screen to enter a specific month's data (pulling the month from a drop-down list). Now the challenge I am faced with: Is there a way to enable the user to select the month, enter the data which updates the dashboard and their input is done for that month; and then, the next month they just enter that subsequent month's data (in the same boxes) and the graphs all update, showing the two months, while preserving the January values which have been overwritten? But, using the logic and data formulas I know, I cannot solve how to have the January data retained when they enter February. The easiest solution would be to have a column for each month, but there is also a "week" dashboard as well and it would require their scrolling across (eventually) 52 columns as the weeks progress through the year. Is there any way to accomplish this or is it wishful thinking? Thanks, Kem |
