Hello guys and thank you in advance for your help.
I have an excel book to help me export text values for my stream overlay.

Basically I have a database on one sheet callled "Slots" with all the info about the games

And I have another Sheet called "SlotStream" with all the info for a specific stream

Each time that I have a new high score on a game, I want to be able to update column B and C on "Slots" sheet with that info. The ideal was for the process to be automatic, but I wouldn't mind to do that with Doubleclick function or so...
Basically on the examples above imagine that I have new highscore on Big Bass Bonanza today. I want to be able to update B23 and B23 on "slots" with J2 and K2 of "slotstream" sheet.
The problem is that i erase all the info on "slotstream" after each stream, so the highscore must always be stored on the database on "slots" sheet.

I hope that I was able to explain my problem, and I really hope that someone could help me with a solution or at least some initial options for it.

Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Formulas based on another cell will ALWAYS look at that cell.
e,g,
B1 is a null value, nothing in the cell at all.
in A1 I type 3.

in B1 I put

=A1

B1 is now also 3.
If I now delete A1 then B1 will no longer be 3, it will be 0 since A1 is now null.

So in your sheets if you clear the data in Slotstream you will lose the information in Slots

Suggest you use a VBA solution which will keep the Slots data intact even if Slotstream data is cleared.
I'm afraid I don't have time to write such a solution

Hello mate and thank you for answering.

I know what you're saying, that's why I need to send the value from the volatile sheet to the database sheet, and when i say send, I mean send and store on that cell.
I suppose I need VBA but I don't understand the codes I've seen to personalize it :(

Thanks for your time though.
