Question

I want to link two excel sheets but here the scenario is a bit complex I beleive. I have a report template in excel (which runs with a macro to generate a reprt template). My job is to do analysis and fill in the values of the analysis in that excel report. Currently I do it manually but we are thinking to automate the process so that the values will automatically fill in the excel sheet.
I am thinking of linking the report sheet with analysis sheet(s) to do that. Is that correct? Also do I require a macro / VBA for that bacause everytime on running a different analysis, I will have a different analysis sheet to fill in the report sheet.
I need this really urgent and would highly appreciate your time and suggestions.

Answer 1

So you have two worksheets, one for presentation and another that holds the data?

Linking would be best if your report is always the same size. If it’s not you can create a blank report that is the biggest size you will ever need and pre-link it to your data sheet. Then just paste your data over that sheet and run a macro to hide the unused portions of your presentation/report sheet.

You can also do it with a full-blown macro, which will give you more flexibility in the long run.
