Guys,

Just need some opinion on how to do something practically.

There are multiple workbooks each including weekly sales plans, and every week a copy of these are created and plans are updated for the future weeks.

What I like to do is
1. how should I centralize these inputs in a way that central file will look in the new week's file at a new week
2. how can I keep track of changes week on week in the central file, which is, I want to keep data from previous week somewhat.

I tried using Indirect and address of a cell in the source file, and copying to a shadow worksheet, but I need to F2+Enter for every formula to update the values and and have to keep the source files open.

Any suggestions?

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
