    Macro to automatically fill in a sheet form multiple workbooks

    I have people going around the UK to calibrate some equipment every April and October and fill out a form in a workbook. When they come back they put the workbook into a directory relevant to that month on a shared drive and I want to put a sheet in the shared drive that automatically fills in important data form the forms into rows on relevant tabs ie April 2012, October 2012, April 2013 etc etc

    Ideally the workbook will have multiple tabs in it, one for each calibration month. Is this possible to do with macros? At the moment i'm doing it with formulae and I've never tried using macros before, currently the formulae i'm using is ='Q:\[Barnsley_Gawber_Apr_2013.xls]NAHN Audit sheet'!$C$5 and I have to manually write these!

    We will be able to respond to you properly if we see some sample data.

    How about attaching a sample file (dummy data will do as long as the format matches the original)?

    To Attach a File:

    1. Click on Go Advanced
    2. In the frame Attach Files you will see the button Manage Attachments
    3. Click the button.
    4. A new window will open titled Manage Attachments - Excel Forum.
    5. Click the Browse... button to locate your file for uploading.
    6. This will open a new window File Upload.
    7. Once you have located the file to upload click the Open button. This window will close.
    8. You are now back in the Manage Attachments - Excel Forum window.
    9. Click the Upload button and wait until the file has uploaded.
    10. Close the window and then click Submit.

    I am not seeing it as an issue. We can try working on it and see if the file extension becomes an issue.
