Hello,

I have a report fire every morning (1 workbook with 1 sheet) showing what active items need to be worked on (my team tasks are no color fill rows and all others team tasks are grey fill rows). Columns A and lets say J are blank for me to write status notes/dates in. Once I push it out of my department the row becomes grey, once it is done with all applicable departments the row goes away (based on column B "location" that is automatically updated). Currently I open both workbooks, look at column "D" or "description" to make sure it is the correct item and then manually copy/paste from old workbook to new workbook and save over old workbook. I also can't just copy paste the new sheet as the rows switch around. There is more information on the sheet such as current date so I do need to make sure to copy (or replace) from old to new. Is there a module code that I can paste in one workbook and run it every morning to save me about an hour a day. I still need to check all the lines so I don't need full automation but just a quick transfer.

If we call them old workbook, new workbook, and tasksheet and my location in column B is "mk", I am looking for a code that says something like "If a cell in column B contains "mk" in new workbook.taskheet copy cells in column A and J from old workbook to new workbook...and somehow put them on the correct row based on description column "D".

Any help would be a lifesaver!
