Hi,
I have a list of data contained in a series of files stored on a network.
There is one file for every month, ( file name Jan, Feb etc). Each file has
31 sheets (sheet names 1,2,3 etc) to record certain events every day of the
month. Some days may be empty and have nothing written.
There is then a Summary file which I would like to fill automatically from
the 12 source files (Jan, Feb etc). In Summary i have 5 sheets (a,b,c,d,e). I
would like to find a way of automatically copying data
from the source files - Jan/1 cells d12, e12 & m12
to the Summary file, sheet a - cells f2, g2 & d2
The next day, Jan 2 i need to take the data from the same file (if its the
same month) but a different sheet, Jan/2 and copy to summary/a/the next
series of empty cells. Alternatively if its the 31 Jan the next day it needs
to find a different file and sheet - Feb/1 to copy the data from.
- In the source files, (Jan, Feb etc), I only need to copy from sheets 3 to
33 (there are two data sheets then one for each day of the month(the 1,2,3
etc)).
- In the source file I may have multiple OR single entries to copy for one
day. If
2/3/4 events happen in one day they all need transferred to the Summary file.
This means that maybe on Jan 1 i need to copy row 12 but on Jan 2 i need to
copy rows 12,13&14. In days with one event rows 13 and 14 will be empty.
- The last point leads onto another complication in the Summary file. The
entries
are recorded per day, which i'd though of just having a vertical list of
dates - this
won't work as I dont know of how times i need to repeat each day.
In one day there will only be a few entries and past entries should not be
overwritten. Is it possible to have the following sequence?
- the user opens the folder and fills in the entries for the day
(incidentally the events which happened on day x are recorded in the file on
day x+1, as in something that happens on wed is recorded on thurs).
- when the source file is closed the macro runs automatically. The macro:
Checks if there is any data in rows 12,13,14, if there is it copies the
data, if not it closes the open file. In the case where data exists it then
opens the Summary file, pastes the data into the next xx empty rows,
(depending on how much there is to be copied. For the rows that it has
copied it then copy pastes the date from the source file/sheet/cell C3 to the
Summary/sheet (a,b,c)/cell Axx.
Maybe there is a simpler way to manage it, however I am stuck with the file
formats etc as they are.
Is this possible?
