I have a business where we do a 'daily sales report' in excel and save each one in folders by month (example: Sales 2012>July>7-20-12.xls). I have a separate spreadsheet 'Consolidated Sales' that lists a variety of info from each of these daily reports.
The columns in the consolidated report correspond with rows in the daily reports such as; Food Sales, Credit Card Total, Cash, etc.
Each row on the consolidated report is for a different day, and so must look at the corresponding daily report to find its data. I am looking for a way to not have to manually update each cell on each line when I add another daily report that I want added to the consolidated list.
Is there a way that I can make/use a reference cell that would direct to the appropriate report/file, then have each cell in the row pull data from the corresponding cell as told?
Example: (Consolidated Report) for 7-20-12 (Row 1)
'Food' go to file "Sales 2012>July>7-20-12.xls" Cell B14
'Credit Cards' go to file "Sales 2012>July>7-20-12.xls" Cell B16
'Cash Deposit' go to file "Sales 2012>July>7-20-12.xls" Cell B20
Example: (Consolidated Report) for 7-21-12 (Row 2)
'Food' go to file "Sales 2012>July>7-21-12.xls" Cell B14
'Credit Cards' go to file "Sales 2012>July>7-21-12.xls" Cell B16
'Cash Deposit' go to file "Sales 2012>July>7-21-12.xls" Cell B20
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
