Good morning,
I am a beginner-to-intermediate Excel user, who has mainly learned on my own through books, online learning, and googling answers for problems, depending on the necessity of the job. My new boss just gave me an assignment to set up an update to a cheat sheet that is used by another department using both variable data from another file and also constants in other fields. I am not quite sure how to approach this problem, and would love some direction, as I continue my education in Excel.
1. I am not sure whether it would be better to compare value in one particular variable field (Projects) with the other file to see whether there are changes/adds/deletions to Projects list or whether it is just easier to tell it to somehow build a complete table each time from scratch using the variable fields and constant fields. Or is there a way to link to the other file so that if Projects is updated it will automatically update?
2. I am not sure of the best way to put in the constant data in the other fields once I have it put in the variable fields for Project.
Any assistance/guidance would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to update my excel education as quickly as possible, but does take some time. New job is pushing my excel education to a higher level, which is great! I do not yet know VBA, but am learning it.
