    Copy Cell to New Sheet on Cell Update

    This is probably a simple solution and im overthinking it.

    I have a sheet that pulls in a price from an external website into lets say 'DASHBOARD!B2". This price updates every minute.

    What I would like to do is copy this price to another sheet, 'HISTORY!A1' and then when the price changes I want the value in 'DASHBOARD!B2" to compare if the price has gone up or down (colour green/red), using conditional formatting to compare it against the value in 'HISTORY!A1'. (im fine doing the conditional formatting)

    I cant use the usual cell equals formula as this would update the history cell at the same time as the dashboard cell so it wouldn't compare the values. So I need a way of it retaining the previous price for the current price to compare against.

    Any ideas or help would be great.

    Cool Re: Copy Cell to New Sheet on Cell Update

    you can set history cell to refresh every 2 minutes against dashboard which is refreshed every 1 minute
    after 2 minutes history get value from dashboard and hold it for 2 minutes
    history can be done with PowerQuery (refrsh connection every 2 minutes or whatever you want)
    standard CF for colours green/red/no color

    this is idea only
    I can't test it without url to source price

    I did it with randbetween() and it works
