    Auto populate 35 WBS Cost Reports

    Hi All,

    I have a cost report 'WBS' sheet with multiple columns, including budgets, actual period cost, cumulative cost, VOWD, remaining etc as attached

    This cost report sheet is one of 35 separate sheets which are unique only by WBS

    I am attempting to find a way to auto populate each of these input columns as much as possible to reduce the time for manual entry

    I need to keep historical period data for subsequent analysis and to be able to go back and run the report for a previous period (if moved on eg 2 or 3 months)

    I was hoping to find a way to use an input sheet, VLookup, referencing the date driver cell in B2

    The budget section I have linked to source documents

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated

    Did you attach the correct sheet? The raw data or source is missing. Since it's on your desktop we don't have access to HPC Cost Report 30.11.2018.xlsx

    The raw data does not exist as yet. When it will be available it will be in tabular format with ref to the 'cost description' from the test formula spreadsheet. It will be cumulative actual cost only

    Until and unless we see the layout of the raw data, it is impossible to help you with specific formulae... other than saying that you will probably need VLOOKUP and/or INDEX-MATCH. In my opinion, INDEX-MATCH is far more versatile and you should start with that.

    Without that, you have really asked "How long is a piece of string?", to which the only answer is "As long as you want it to be".

    Yes I do understand rather ambiguous, thanks for the advise anyway. I shall go play around with INDEX-MATCH etc until I have data format firmed up

    Thanks again
