I am a VBA / Macro novice....
I have an excel spreadsheet with column and row headers that is filled out using drop down boxes and check boxes and text boxes (that is as advanced as I get !)
What I need it to do is to be able to fill this form out daily, and then overnight the form auto archive / save somewhere / create a new sheet date stamped, leaving a new sheet ready to be filled in again the following day.
I dont want a clunky system where i end up with a spreadsheet with 365 tab, nor do I want to end up with a folder with 365 separate spreadsheets.
Ideally the data from the sheets will save into a csv file that could be analysed in a table or the like.
I have played around with the idea or trying to make the blank sheet like a cover page or data entry page but couldnt work out if this was more difficult.

The sort of data takes the form.....

30-Jan-22 AB CD EF

Appointments With GP
Action / See Report (Tick)

Pain Normal / None Normal None Normal
Issue (Tick)

Health Observations Normal CRO CRO CRO
Temperature AM 35.8 36.1 36.3
Temperature PM LOW 36.2 36.3
Obs (Tick) (Tick)
Outcome Temp Low BP Low
etc etc with other observations etc

I dont know whether a pivot table would allow the data to be stored or retrieved via all "CD" notes etc
I am out of my excel depth, any pointers or ideas?
Many thanks

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
