    Creating a Master Sheet for A Text-only Workbook

    I have searched high and low for the answer, but I'm not finding it. So, please help! I am currently using excel 2010.

    I have a very simple workbook. It consists of two sheets. Both of which have the same column titles (Company, Year, Catch Copy, URL). The data contained is all text, nothing numerical. The first sheet shows our current clients (titled "current") and the second sheet shows our previous clients (titled "previous"). I want to make a master sheet which combines all the entries on the current and previous sheets. I also want the master sheet to update whenever any new entries are added to either sheet.

    Please give me a hand and if any other info would help just ask! Thanks!

    That is incredible and I would love to know how you did it! I have played around with Macros and VBA, but I am still very new. So, a detailed explanation would be great. I may ask you some follow up questions to fully understand!

    Again, you have done some amazing stuff here and I'm fully impressed. Thanks for your help!

    Hi Kyde,

    You're welcome - I had expected that you would want more than that - I'll see whether I have a chance to send you the code with commentary

    That is excellent and no rush! Totally blown away. I'm sure you can imagine how long I tried to find the answer myself and didn't come anywhere near it!

    Zulfaizan, you should start your own post and then you might get advice from many more people.

    @ Zulfaizan - Kyde is right, you should start your own thread (and this one is marked solved so few would look at it!).

    Re: Creating a Master Sheet for A Text-only Workbook

    Hey xladept,

    I'm working more in the file now and I realized that the undo button doesn't work. I am assuming that the macro causes things to be overwritten and essentially cancels out the possibility of the undo button. Am I right or is there a way to get the undo button working? If not, I will keep going and hope I don't mess up too bad!

    Re: Creating a Master Sheet for A Text-only Workbook

    Hey Kyde,

    What undo button? I've written the ThisWorkbook event code so that any entry on the Master will be undone??

    Re: Creating a Master Sheet for A Text-only Workbook

    The normal undo function is what I'm talking about.

    I input text into a cell on the child pages (current or previous). Once I hit the enter key or tab key to go to another cell, the undo button goes dim and cannot be used. Is this normal? Sorry for my explanation before being a little confusing.

    Re: Creating a Master Sheet for A Text-only Workbook

    Well - I've coded Worksheet Change events into the ThisWorkbook module so that overrides the regular functions because so much happens in between. Shall I try to code a different way?

    I don't want to waste your time. You have already helped so much! So, I would say if you are looking to challenge yourself for some crazy reason, go for it! I am not perfect, so I do use the undo button from time to time.
