    Creating "Living" List/Database

    I am attempting to create a "living" list of values that automatically updates based on the value that is entered in a single cell.

    EX: At somepoint in time cell A1 is manually filled with an arbitrary value. Later, cell A1 is overwritten by another arbitrary value and the original value is lost. I would like to have a program that writes the original value to a list on a separate sheet and each time cell A1 is changed, the subsequent value is added to that list.

    Any ideas??

    Try something like this:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    This writes a timestamp, username and value to a new rown in Sheet2, every time the value of A1 changes.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    i think VBA would be needed for that so you can write the value in A! and press submit and it will add it to another spread sheet

    PHP Code: 
    Public Sub yourmacroname()


    Application.ScreenUpdating False

    Dim copySheet 
    As Worksheet
    Dim pasteSheet 
    As Worksheet
    Dim xrow 
    As Integerxcol As Integer


    Set copySheet1 
    Worksheets("your page name where A1 is located")
    Set pasteSheet Worksheets("page name ofwhere you want the value to go")

    copySheet1.Cells(11).Copy
    pasteSheet
    .Cells(Rows.Count3).End(xlUp).Offset(10).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues


    Range
    ("a1").Select

    End Sub 
    ive edited mine so sorry if it doesnt work correctly
