    Automatically updating summary sheet

    Hi,
    Please find attached my excel
    I have tabs ranging from RA to DW
    Also a summary sheet. As of now i have manually copied data from each tab onto summary sheet
    Is there a way to automate the summary sheet so that when i enter data in each tab it gets updated automatically in summary sheet as well

    Flexibility needed is:

    If row is added in any sheet from RA to DW then the same should be created in summary
    IF a resource is added in any tab then the same should be added in Summary.
    Similary for delete too

    Overall i should be able to update summary automatically when i update the tabs.
    Please let me know if this can be done
    Thanks

    Re: Automatically updating summary sheet

    In my opinion your designing this backwards. Think of the "summary" as more of "database"...the sheet where you enter your information.

    Then the OTHER sheets pull their data from the database and show only the info relating to their sheet.

    If you DON'T want to do that, I might suggest putting a macro on your Summary Sheet that copies all the data from the other sheets to the Summary anytime you want an updated report. We could even make it occur automatically each time you Click on the SummarySheet to view it.

    Re: Automatically updating summary sheet

    Why bother? All data should be entered into the "summary sheet", then use AutoFilter to display specific data for perhaps systems.
    Hope that helps.

    Re: Automatically updating summary sheet

    No actually data for each tab comes from diff managers so i wanted it to be reflected in summary sheet when i simply copy whatever data i have received from each manager and copy it in each tab.

    I feel this point of yours is what i am looking for
    "If you DON'T want to do that, I might suggest putting a macro on your Summary Sheet that copies all the data from the other sheets to the Summary anytime you want an updated report. We could even make it occur automatically each time you Click on the SummarySheet to view it"

    Data filter i dont want to use but i was thinking this way too to be easier, and my efforts are reduced

    Can this be achieved please help me
    Thanks

    Re: Automatically updating summary sheet

    After looking at your sample sheet more closely, you've got some fancy formatting going on in the X X X sections. I can't figure that one right now...it's late here...

    What do you mean, it adds the data from each sheet, is this duplicating because the individual sheets aren't cleared each time?

    Re: Automatically updating summary sheet

    Your headers are in Row 2 so a slight amendment

    Re: Automatically updating summary sheet

    Roy, take a look at his example "results" desired and scroll off to the right. It's not a simple case of "copy all the data rows" like we normally see. He's got some crazy design that add the names from each sheet at the end of the names from the previous sheet, then copies the "X X X" section OUT further than where it really came from so the names line up on the Summary. Also, some fancy coloring/striping there as well.

    That's why I didn't try at 2am, that's a lot more work than he even realizes.
