Hot folder data sorting.
My goal is to create a hot folder that I am able to continuously drop data sheets into. Then have excel transfer a few specific cells ie.( totals, names )into a uniform row on a new table/sheet.
•all data sheets will be formatted the exact same and information will be in the same positions across all of them
•data sheets will be added daily
•each data sheet needs to create its own respective line representing information from only that sheet
•some of the cells needed are a result of total formulas in the data sheet
•no information besides the specific cells should reflect in the new table

P1- example of the data sheets used with the cells circled that are wanted to be transferred.
P2- example of what it should somewhat look like when presented in the table/sheet

- Consolidate data from different worksheets with final information coming from a combination of the worksheetsHoping for some help on a problem I can't wrap my head around. I need to consolidate some information from 12 different tabs (one data pull per month) into one worksheet with some of the data needing to be overridden and some needing to stay. With the most recent pull of the data not necessarily being the information I want showing, I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm trying to find a way to create this and pass it along to someone else to just load data and it automatically puts out the result I'm looking for. For instance, I pull information from my system in January for the entire year (broken into monthly buckets) and all of that is perfect. My second data pull of the year in February isn't so clean. I need to see the numbers from January on any of the January data (because it zeros out in February in my system) but everything related to February through December needs to be from the most recent data pull. Third pull of the year in March, I need to see the numbers from January and February for the January and February data and then need the new info for March through December. Basically, by the time December rolls around, I need data from all 12 sheets. Hopefully this makes sense. Any thoughts on how I can accomplish this in Excel? submitted by /u/megd726 [link] [comments]
- Change contents of cells based on a drop downSo, I'm trying to generate a spreadsheet to make the forms we use in the office to issue keys. When people are given an apartment, we have a sheet with all the key numbers on it, and then they sign for it. At the moment, we've got 22 different PDFs and Word documents, and it doesn't work. So, what I want to do is this. I've built the template in Excel and created a Reference sheet which will have all the numbers in it. What I am trying to do is set it up so that when you use the Apartment number from a dropdown, it populates with all the key numbers. This sounds like it should be easy to do, but my Excel brain is broken. Advice would be much appreciated! submitted by /u/Hot_Syrup_1774 [link] [comments]

- How to consolidate multiple sheets into one YTD summary report?I have 52 sheets in my excel workbook. It is named in a non-traditional sequence: "Jan Wk1, Jan Wk2, Jan Wk3,...... Dec Wk 4, Dec Wk5", because it's easy for me to print a weekly report with a total for each category. https://preview.redd.it/rq7qb3x8ddyg1.png?width=814&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d101ae17b185451e5140ef1c17f86221cd83aa6 Log 2026 is what my spreadsheet looks like. I only included three weeks as an example. Cell H34 in the highlighted area, on the Jan Wk2 sheet, contains a VBT to retrieve data from the previous sheet. Each day, I also need the total from the previous day in C36:G37. I like my current setup because I can easily convert it into a weekly PDF report without any modification. However, I'm not sure how to create a YTD summary report from 52 sheets. A template of the YTD report is included in Log2026. I tried to use 3D formulas, but I have to manually change sheet names and adjust cell references when crossing columns and rows. not very pragmatic and easily make mistakes. Log 2026: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IEavZiJiDOv4GS-8c6n8dJqHUnRfT-ft/view?usp=drive_link ***************************** Some people suggest combining a year's worth of data into a single spreadsheet, rather than 52 weekly sheets, and then using Power Query to populate the report, but I am having difficulty generating the weekly report using the preferred template. Preferred Pdf report example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uQW7z_XZJ_Nn5sAzcaTkXDObAu8XTi0e/view?usp=drive_link Screenshot of combined data Completed data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xIJkqTOwjucN2QMT0pK6A6wmSp8U4U8A/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=102145557861966136866&rtpof=true&sd=true highlights: data collected daily, so every day is different. data for the drivers on the bottom of the spreadsheet changes based on their starting date. So my goal is to create a weekly and yearly report with preferred template (boss's request). Any suggestion is appreciated. submitted by /u/Ok_Solid_9312 [link] [comments]
