    Auto-update functions

    Hi all. Complete n00b here, so even though this has probably been done a thousand times elsewhere, I don't even know enough to know what I would search for. Thanks in advance for your patience.

    I am working on a risk register, where there will be a few detailed risk registers over several worksheets, and a frontpage which I want to autopopulate with any risks over a certain rating. What I want to know how to do is update the frontsheet of a workbook dependant on the values in cells on another sheet. What sort of formula do I need here? I thought maybe an IF, which I don't know how to use, translating the following into Excelese:

    IF any cell from range E1 - E5 in worksheet 2 has value > 15, then line of that cell copied and inserted here

    Let me know how I should do this, or if there's anything else you need to know to help.

    Thanks

    With a copy of your workbook

    To get the correct w/s module

    Right click on the tab for "Sheet2" Click View code then paste all of the code in the resultant pane.

    Change Sheets("Sheet1") to suit a spare sheet in your workbook.

    I have attached a very simple demo workbook, change a value on "Sheet2" and see the result in "Sheet1", repeat as often as you need and watch the result.

    Hope this helps.
