    Need help automatically insert rows with data from another spreadsheet in same excel file

    Hi All,

    ok, here goes.. I am trying to create an excel file with multiple sheets within named Main / Section1 / Section2. Main Sheet will be the spreadsheet compiling all data from spreadsheets Section1 and Section2. Is there any way to do it so that whenever new data is entered into Section1 and Section2, new rows with the new data will be automatically inserted into Main Spreadsheet without overwriting the existing data? Would really really appreciate if someone could help me out on this.

    Many thanks.

    Probably you do.

    If you took the time reading some questions, you will have read that you get better help if you add an excel file, without confidentional information.

    In that case also add the desired (expected) result.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    Appreciate your reply. I have enclosed the excel file.

    Not sure what you meant by add the desired result, but please note that I did mention the requirements which I needed help on, in the first post of this thread.

    Thanks.

    Not sure about your question.

    But see if the result on the sheet "consolidated" is what you want.

    See the attached file.

    Hi,

    Yes, it is quite similar to what I actually need and it works fantastically for me.

    Could you also give me some pointers on how to place a button in spreadsheets SectionA and SectionB which allows me to execute the function by clicking on it?

    Thanks for your great help. Appreciation x 100

    I added an button on the consolidated sheet.

    The whole sheet will update after pushing the button.

    Try adding new row in sectionA (like i did) and push the button.

    Please reply if this is what you're up to.

    Re: Need help automatically insert rows with data from another spreadsheet in same excel f

    Hi All,

    I tried using the solution provided by a helpful user previously on sheets with 6 columns and it isn't working correctly. Could someone please give me some guidance on how to compile all data into Consolidated Sheet from Sheets (SectionA, SectionB, SectionC, SectionD, SectionE) with Column C as the validating field? Also, can there be 2 rows of space dividing the 5 Sheets (SectionA, SectionB, SectionC, SectionD, SectionE) after compiling?

    Appreciate the help. Many thanks.

    @roofi,

    according to the forumrules, you need to open an own question, and refer to this topic.

    please also add the desired (expected) result in your sheet.
