How to automatically extract data from a monthly report to a dataframe
- Aug 09, 2019
I updated few cells in the data frame tab with a possible solution( which is only partial solution). I am assuming that you will have one row per month in Dataframe. if yes, you can update the first column "sheet name" - this is the tab where you will extract data. the cell references need to be updated in the formule in B2, C2, D2 etc (first row). for example for country i assumed that L3 cell in 2019JUN tab is the source, hence the formula in B2 is =IFERROR(INDIRECT($A2&"!L3"),"")
to complete this, you will have to populate the 1st row, with formula like in B2 and C2, then copy /paste these formula to the next rows. of course, the first column "sheet name" needs to be updated as well.
hope it helps !!
following is a combination of two.
=INDEX( INDIRECT($A2&"!D:D"), MATCH("Expenditure",INDIRECT($A2&"!D:D"))+1)
This is for Expenditure. For other columns, you need to define similar rules (such as the row below "Total Sponsonship" in column D:D).
