    how to create a running list on one sheet using data from another

    As part of an ISO process metric I want to track backlog of parts in a certain department. Luckily, there is a spreadsheet already in use that is updated each day. I modified that sheet so that the backlog of parts is calculated and summed into a single cell. What I need now is for that number, each day, to be logged or listed on a separate sheet. Copy/paste would work but shop guys will struggle. I hope I can get advise on how to automate. Scenario: Shop updates the working sheet first thing. (my backlog sum changes) They click a macro button and the changed sum is copied to sheet 2, column A, next available cell. After 30 days of updating the working sheet and running the macro I can look at sheet 2 and see 30 entries in column A, each corresponding to the backlog for that day. Help on getting this done is much appreciated.

    What is the location of the 'single cell' calculation (the source)?
    Perhaps it was the Noid who should have avoided me...
    If you are satisfied with my solution click the small star icon on the left. Thanks
    1. Make a copy of your workbook and run the following code on your copy (just in case)
    2. With excel open, press ALT+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE). From the "Insert" menu, select "Module".
    3. Paste the code from above into the empty white space. Close the VBE.
    4. From the developer tab, choose "Macros", select the Sub Name, and click "Run".

    source is sheet 1, cell G1
    I want to move the value to sheet 2, column A, descending with a new entry each day.

    AlvaroSiza rocks! I made some small changes in order to auto open when the workbook is opened. That was an easy mod, having your code already. Works great. Thanks.
