Hi,

I have been given access to a excel file shared with a group on sharepoint (Excel 365) to collect certain data. Once all the data is filled by the members in the group the file owner disables access to the file.

However, I want to keep a copy of the file with all the data (i.e. before the owner disables access). Is there anyway to create a duplicate of the file which will link to the original file and will self-update whenever changes are made by other members, so that I will have a copy which will be completely updated.

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
If it is in SharePoint you should be able access previous versions (unless the administrator has that disabled).
