Hey all,
I've used & referenced this board a lot in the past for some great help! I have a situation now that I need few suggestions on if it's possible for me to "automate" any steps.
What I have is a sheet called "Pull from Tools" in "Workbook A" which I need to update with the latest numbers from a business unit file. Every month I have to look for the most recent version of "Workbook B - XXXXX<INSERT here number Unit Business>" (the X's represent a particular business unit number). In that specific business unit's workbook B, I need to go to the "MonthlyDetail" sheet and pull the numbers from the following cell references: AL147, AU147, BD147.
I would just link them and do a "Find" and "Replace" to update the file's location (since each month has it's own folder), but the problem is that sometimes there might two files with the same Business Unit and I would need to get the information from the more updated one (newer one).
Currently I'm having to manually open up each business unit's monthly file, go to the "MonthlyDetail" sheet, find the values in AL147, AU147, BD147.. then copy-paste them into my main workbook that I'm working from (Workbook A). Is there any way to automate this at all? Would using some type of macro help? Is it possible to set it up so that I can just browse & select a workbook every month and it will automatically spit out those three values for me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
