Hi Folks.Hoping somebody here can point me in the right direction or provide a little assistance with a little quandary I've now found myself with.I run a daily KPI sheet for various sections of my workplace and we have a rather large workbook (30+ sheets) that runs myriad of statistics for a weekly 'boardwalk' briefing. There is a main dashboard front page that shows the totals for all todays KPI stats which in turn links to individual sheets where the stats for that item are then broken down by their working groups. For each daily upload there are a number of raw data worksheets that get cleared and re-populated with new information from a data dump. The raw data worksheets are then used to calculate each working areas stats for the various KPIs, and the results output to a 'master' worksheet full of formulae that recalculates itself daily and displays the overall results on the main dashboard, and this same data split into working group on the individual KPI performance worksheets.So far, the system has been running well, however I've recently been asked to implement a 'history' cell beneath todays value on the individual KPI performance sheets so as to show the values from yesterday in order to gauge whether the numbers are falling/rising for each work area.The figures shown on the various KPI worksheets are drawn by a formula ("=Master!J98" for example) from the 'master' worksheet, and during each update these also will change.What I'm looking for is a means to be able to retain yesterdays values and put it into a cell below the actual value calculated from todays upload. In essence providing a very quick means of archiving the previous days figures - so Monday would archive Fridays figure to the history cell and insert Mondays figures as the new value, Tuesdays upload would archive Mondays values to the history cell and insert Tuesdays figures as the new value and so on.I'm sure this will involve a VBA solution, and to be quite honest I've absolutely no idea where to begin, so your help would be very much welcomed with wide open arms!
