Mirror server updated sheet to another sheet
sconway1985 Your comments in italics, my comment in regular font below them:
In this workbook there is the raw data sheet which is updated automatically with data fed from SharePoint.
How is this done? Via PowerQuery?
I cannot make changes to that raw data sheet, such as formatting it as a table, because whenever new data is input into SharePoint, the sheet is reverted back to its original form as just raw data.
That's where I believe PowerQuery may come in. Set it up to connect to the data, do whatever cleaning and formatting you need and load it to the Data Model where you can do the DAX measures and from there you create the pivot tables.
But perhaps I'm totally missing the point. Difficult to visualize your project based on text only. At least for me.
You can copy the sheet, usually copied with the formula and references.
It depends on the way on how the first sheet get the data from the server.
- Hi Jihad,
Copying the sheet wouldn't be enough. This is an automated report that is updated each morning.
I need the mirror sheet to update as the raw data sheet is updated on it's own.sconway1985 Perhaps you can connect to the raw date using Power Query and do whatever transformations are needed and load the result back into an Excel table. Every morning, refresh the query or set-up the query such that it automatically refreshes when the workbook opens and the "mirror" table will change with it.
- There isn't like a way to just mirror the sheet dynamically?
Similar to what a pivot table does whenever new data is entered?
