    Question Previous Data fornula in ONE Data block that will carry each time sheet is updated

    I have a sheet that I cannot get to work correctly
    My excel sheet is actually an inventory listing for several items including item description, price, # of items on hand, # of items sold, and the remaining total. What I am trying to do it create a field and formula that will take the "remaining total" and put it in it's own column, prior to the "new" remaining total field change. An example is shown below:


    PLU # Product Price # On Hand # Sold Remaining Total Previous Total Difference
    0001 Soda 1.50 100 59 41
    0002 Chips 1.50 100 54 46
    0003 Cookies 1.50 100 51 49
    0004 Plates 1.50 100 4 96
    0005 Cups 1.25 100 14 86

    I want to be able to take the Remaining Total #'s and create a formula so that it goes to the Previous Total PRIOR to the # Sold changing at the next inventory. Meaning that right now, as the example shows, I have 41 remaining Sodas. In two weeks, when I do the audit again, I want to be able to open this report and 41 be in the Previous Total field. I will perform the next inventory audit then as well. I now have 64 sold Sodas, which will then take my remaining total to 36. I still want my previous total field to show 41, as it was the last total prior to changing it at this audit. Mind you, the Remaining Total field has a simple formula in it (# On Hand-# Sold).

    I really really hope this makes sense, because I'm having a hard time finding anything on Google :/ HELP!!

    Thanks in advance

    I believe this is do-able, but if you could upload a sample workbook, showing what you have, then, maybe on a second page (with a few explanations) what you would like to see, it would make life easier for ALL of us
    A picture may be worth a thousand words, BUT, a sample Workbook is worth a thousand screenshots!
    -Add a File - click advanced (next to quick post), scroll to manage attachments, click, select add files, click select files, select file, click upload, when file shows up at bottom left, click done (bottom right), click submit

    I have attached a sample sheet. The first tab is the "First Audit". The second tab is the "next" audit showing what I need! Thanks or the reply by the way!

    So,just so we are on the same page here, EVERY time the workbook OPENS, the total value in Column F gets Moved (or copied) to Column G ?
    (This sounds like a VBA solution, But I think I can handle it )

    Actually, re-reading the sample, this is probably better handled in the VBA forum here : http://www.excelforum.com/excel-programming-vba-macros/
    while I could probably do it, it would take me a few days(between work, looking up references, etc..) where as the guru's here could probably help you within an hour or two
    the reason I say this is because it sounds like you need a new audit page created, then the values in column F from last audit page copied over to column G in the new audit page...which, I still think I could do, but they are much faster at it !
