Auto Data Transfer

Hi Guy's,
I have created an intergrated system of tracking for my company. Basically I
have one Workbook for Daily Sales and another as a Master Record. I want to
be able to input information into the Master Worksheet and automatically
transfer some of the information to the Daily Worksheet. Columns
A,B,H,J,K,P,Q,T,G on Master are to be transferred to Columns
A,B,C,D,E,I,K,F,L respectively on a daily basis according to matching dates
in Column S of the Master and Cell H1 of the Daily sheet. An added problem is
that cell information can regularly be the same and there can be up to 20
different transactions per day.

Kramer,

Don't do it that way: it's a poor design, one that increases your chance of
introducing errors. Use one workbook, and one database, and use data
filters or pivot tables to view summaries or subsets of your data.

You can add additional columns to your database to use as filter keys. When
you want to see a specific view of your data, filter on the key, or other
parameters, such as the 'matching dates' or the column that would match the
value in cell H1. Or use the pivot table to create the summary.

Thanks Bernie,
The problem there is that I have to e-mail the Daily section every day and
if I combine it with the Master section then I have over 8 MB even zipped
it's still 4 MB which will not happen on dial-up (we're still in the stone
age). I don't know what a pivot table is but if it can be formatted to match
what I have now and can be e-mailed with ease than I will certainly learn
what I can. Same goes with filtering. My only sources of training are the
help menu and Excell 2003 Fast & Easy, so if there is anything else that is
good for beginers, please tell.
Thanks again.

Kramer,

You can easily extract data from a database. Suppose your database has a
date column. Copy the macro below into a codemodule in your workbook. Then
select a single cell in your date column with the date that you want to
extract, and then run the macro. It will create a new sheet that contains
just the data for the that single day. Then emailing that single sheet would
be quicker. The assumption is that your database follows database rules - no
fully empry columns or rows.

Sub ExtractJustOneDay()
Dim myCell As Range
Dim mySht As Worksheet

Set myCell = ActiveCell
Set mySht = Worksheets.Add
mySht.Name = Format(myCell.Value, "mmm dd, yyyy")
With myCell.CurrentRegion
Intersect(.Cells, myCell.EntireColumn).AutoFilter _
Field:=1, Criteria1:=myCell.Text
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy _
mySht.Range("A1")
.AutoFilter
End With
End Sub
