Hi Everyone,

I would like to copy data from the "Spreadsheet Archive" sheet intothe "Previous Visits" sheet depending on the station that is selectedfrom the drop down list in the "Input" sheet.

I assumed this was going to be a very simple step but my Excel skills arenot as strong as I thought. I have spent hours trying to solve this problem buthave not been able to figure it out. My VBA is very basic soI have tried to record the macro. The issue seems to bewith selecting the drop down cell and trying to paste it into afilter in the "Spreadsheet Archive" sheet.

There is already a macro that alters the data entry cells onthe "Input" sheet depending on the site that isselected from the drop down menu. Ideally I would likethe "Previous Visits" tab to be populatedautomatically with any data in the "Spreadsheet Archive" sheetthat contains the station name selected in the "Input" tab.However because there is already a macro that executes itself when astation is chosen would it be easier to have the archived data retrieved usinga button instead.

Any help with this would be massively appreciated. I am reallystruggling.

I have included a copy of the spreadsheet here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cgd2iygkf8kizzy/Site%20data%20entry.xlsm?dl=0

Hopefully my query makes sense when you look at the file.

Thank you in advance.

Shaun


 

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
How about
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
   If Target.Address = "$B$2" Then
      If Target <> "" Then
         Sheet12.Rows("2:" & Rows.Count).ClearContents
         With Sheet11
            If Application.CountIf(.Range("A:A"), Target) > 0 Then
               If .FilterMode Then .ShowAllData
               .Range("A2:S2").AutoFilter 1, Target
               .AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).Copy Sheet12.Range("A2")
               .ShowAllData
            End If
         End With
         Call show_Required_rows
      End If
    End If
End Sub
