Hi

Apologies if this is an so appearantly easy question that preschoolers can do it in their sleet :) i have looked but i cant find a good solution.
But the only way i can see is VBA.
Because i cant touch the "Data" sheet, due it will return a bad format in the production system causing the report to crash.
My goal is to return monthly data values from the "data" sheet to the predefined template set by our customer in the "Monthly Report" tab Where the headers have comment on what data field in "data" that corresponds to the field header.

So the case is: all formulas needs to be defined in the "Monthly Report" sheet, or in VBA.

The questions are:
1) Data sheet will contain data for each month or data for whole year?
2) Do you need to extract data from Data sheet based on Vessel name?

Hi Zot.
Thanks for replying.

1)Month, but the report template im working on compiles data from 01.01./start of year.
2)Yes, by vessel name/unitname. I can also amend the template from the production software to only generate one unit at a time. But report template in question has multiple units included.

How do you plan to input vessel name? I was thinking Data Validation, but the list is on sheet Data that might change. Not possible unless you have fixed list but not too long or else manually type in.

Vessel name is fixed metadata, that will populate automatically from the production software.
UNITID:
ABOR
AHAV
AHOM
AKVA
AMAL
ASAN
ASKI
ASKY
ASPA
ATRO

If the unit generates the report template, it will only get its own data, meaning only the UNITID or UNITNAME that corrosponds to the ID.
Or can it be a dropdown basis above, appreciate your inputs?

I have another question, can i use, or is it a good idea to use index/match function on the Monthly Report sheet, that pulls data from "Data" sheet, based on unit ID, and month?

I'm sure it can be done.
You data sheet for each month. You Report is for a year duration. Your Report formula will need to link to all 12 data workbooks. Need to be in same network I guess.
If your report is monthly then less messy.

For me, I don't like to have files full with formula especially long formula. Makes file big. :giggle:

I was thinking of creating report on monthly basis for each vessel. Since each month I imagined that you will not have same vessel or add new vessel (uncertain vessel list) and also to keep the list as short as possible, I was thinking of Validation list for convenience and prevent typo error.

My thinking is having Monthly Report template with 2 buttons to get vessel list and another button to compile. Since the vessel list would be changing all the time, after compilation I would just remove the Validation List and jut put the vessel name. The Validation List is no longer usable since the report generated is specifically for that vessel. Open template again and run compilation for another vessel.

@Zot

The above sounds good and logical to me, but to be honest, i spent 6 hours yesterday in VBA modules, without any good result. So i need help if you are able to give it :)
The report template has a dynamic date filter in the create date, so the data in "Data" will only be 31 days backwards, and not a whole year. when the template is run.
There is also a Report Filter "sheet in the template, where data validation can be done, here is all the criterias set? will this help?

I have not tried the code extensively. The parameter you wanted to transfer just few sample and I have not verified if they are transferred right since not all variables you said actually match with your Data sheet.

When you execute GetList, it will create a Vessel sheet for my temporary work such as creating unique list of vessels for Validation List. It can be deleted after you execute 2nd code CompileReport which I did not do in my code yet.

Since you are also have experience in VBA, I believe you can easily modify the code to meet your need. I was not able to iron out the code since too busy with work today and also yesterday.
VBA Code: 
Sub GetList()

Dim n As Long, rowReport As Long
Dim colUName As String
Dim FName As Variant
Dim rngUName As Range, rowLast As Range
Dim wsFound As Boolean
Dim ws As Worksheet, wsData As Worksheet, wsReport As Worksheet, wsVessel As Worksheet
