    Dynamic Spreadsheet while Keeping Hidden Cells Hidden

    Hi all,

    I get work order spreadsheets and immediately filter them to include only the relevant rows and hide the columns I don't want to see. I am not able to simply copy and paste the new spreadsheet over the old because the two spreadsheets aren't the same size and I'm hiding the first column so I can't paste into A1. What I would like to do is set up a template, dynamic spreadsheet, or table that keeps the filters and hidden column even after I change the data. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    Re: Dynamic Spreadsheet while Keeping Hidden Cells Hidden

    In the absence of any data or specific information, the response can only be generic.

    If it were me, I would open the raw data workbook, make a copy of the sheet(s) in the "master" workbook, and then close the original untouched. I'd then hack the copy/copies into the right shape ... delete unnecessary columns and rows, ... and then merge the formatted data into the master worksheet.
