    Extract user input data from one excel file into another

    Hi everyone,

    Is there a way to extract only "the data entered by a user" from one excel spreadsheet and copy it to another file. I don't want to extract data from any cell that contain a value calculated by a formula. For example, in the following example below, I want only the data from cells B1 and B2 to be extracted into another excel file since these are user input data. The B3 cell contains a formula to add cells B1 and B2. I don't want to extract cell B3.

    A B
    1 item 1 count 500
    2 item 2 count 600
    3 total 1100

    I have a large excel with 1,000's of fields (both user input and calculated cells) and I want to extract the user input cells automatically if possible. The point is I am trying to collect all the user input data (raw data) and do some analysis on it. Any Ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    this will require a vba solution. It would be very helpful to us if you provided a sample worksheet.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.
