Morning All, I hope everyone is well.

I am trying to put together a workbook for my wife to monitor her care home residents care needs. I have managed to complete 90% of the workbook so that a monthly inspection report can be generated. Basically a month and years is selected within Sheet1 ("Main"). If a report exists meeting that criteria that worksheet is selected, however, if a report meeting that criteria does not exist that a worksheet is made by copying "Template" worksheet and renaming is using the month and Year entered on the Main worksheet e.g. Jan_2021.

I have also manged to take specific data from this new worksheet (A9:B31 (Room No, Name), O9:R31) and add it to "Stats" worksheet (Columns B (Room No), C (Name), D (Month), E (Year), F (data from column O), G (data from column P), H (data from column Q), I (data from column R). This I have managed to do as long as it is the first time the data is added. Added to next available row. This worksheet will be used to monitor trends for each resident.

Problem:
I can open any of the generated worksheets and amend data within. Changing data within these worksheets will affect data that is in O9:R31. What I am struggling with is if any existing worksheets are changed the data that is stored in "Stats" sheet needs to be updated too. The Room Number, Name, Month and Year will not change and could be used as a check criteria to see if the data exists.

I hope I have explained this properly.

TIA

Steve
