    Unhappy How do I transfer a cell data from spreadsheet (A) to a different designed sheet (B)?

    Check out this image for more clarification:

    Check the top half of the image: we have this system that generates reports in a very specific format. There are dozens of these files. My boss wants one new master spreadsheet (the bottom screenshot) which will have one row for each of those reports, and all of the data laid out horizontally in columns.

    There's no way I can manually re-enter every single value from every single sheet one by one into this new one in a reasonable amount of time. Is there a faster way to do this? Like..
    • Is there some way to select all of the cells from the report that I want, copy them, and paste them as a horizontal array of columns in the other spreadsheet?
    • If not, is there some easy macro script I can make? Note: I have absolutely zero experience with macros or programming, so this could easily take me a week to figure out as well...

    Thanks for any help..

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..
    To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'.
    To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

    On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'.
    Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments.

    You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page.
    Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

    To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file.

    To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page.
    Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    Hope that helps.

    As per your screenshot, its evident that your data is not in a row so that it can be easily copied to your master file. You will need a macro for it. Maybe if you attach a sample excel file (not a jpg) then i could assist you in creating a macro that will access each file and copy the required values over to the master file.
