autoupdate data?
is it possible to make a cell automatically update its data?
================================== e.g. sheet 1 some data that I enter daily. sheet 2 which keep track of previous data. column A = date column B = the data from sheet 1 =================================== a detailed example: sheet1: A1="sell of today", B1= "volume" A2= $1000, B2=4343 In sheet2, A1="Date" B1="sell" C1="volume" A2=15/06/2008 B2=$1434 C2= 3432 A3=16/06/2008 B3=$1000 C3= 4343 (suppose today is 16/06/2008) .... .... .... ===================================== I have tried : in sheet2, column B and column C B2=If(A2=today(),'Sheet1'!A2,"") B3=If(A3=today(),'Sheet1'!A3,"") ..... .... .... C2=If(A2=today(),'Sheet1'!B2,"") C3=If(A3=today(),'Sheet1'!B3,"") ================ The problem I have is that all the cells in Sheet2, B and C change back to "", which I would like to keep the yesterday data and previous data. Any idea? Thanks. |

autoupdate data?
Why not just set it up for simple data entry directly in Sheet1 with 3 cols
(Date, Sell, Volume)? You could then easily use autofilter on the same sheet to see all the sales volume for any particular date, and create a pivot table to drive out various summaries (sales by date, etc) easily in another sheet. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Lamb Chop" wrote: is it possible to make a cell automatically update its data? ================================== e.g. sheet 1 some data that I enter daily. sheet 2 which keep track of previous data. column A = date column B = the data from sheet 1 =================================== a detailed example: sheet1: A1="sell of today", B1= "volume" A2= $1000, B2=4343 In sheet2, A1="Date" B1="sell" C1="volume" A2=15/06/2008 B2=$1434 C2= 3432 A3=16/06/2008 B3=$1000 C3= 4343 (suppose today is 16/06/2008) ... ... ... ===================================== I have tried : in sheet2, column B and column C B2=If(A2=today(),'Sheet1'!A2,"") B3=If(A3=today(),'Sheet1'!A3,"") .... ... ...

Now, whether that response appeals to you or not, you should always post
back with your comments (this is a discussion group, remember). Other responders could step in to offer you other ideas, depending on how the discussion progresses, etc. Keeping silent doesn't serve any purpose. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Thanks you first, Max for your prompt reply. I was checking autofilter and
pivot table from the help to see if it is the key. I just want to understand it before I reply. Unfortunately, autofilter and pivot are not ones I need. However, I found a new way to fix my problem which you may interested. I created a csv file where I input the data. Then in excel under Data,get external data and import text file, I can make it automatically update the data every 5 minutes. For me, it is quite a new technique. thanks again for your sharing, Max.
