Save Previous Cell Value Of A Changed Cell In Excel
Maksim7570 I'm sorry, you did say you have Excel 2019. see attached:
I created formulas for 30 columns to see up to 30 days but you could fill right for more if needed.
That said, in previous post you said you wanted another value to the right of those cells and you said for example the data is in A:K and you would have something in L but that would have to be in AF or so to have up to 30 columns available for the data. Or incorporate that cell information as an alternative formula/data in the formula I created based on it being X columns more than then total requested...
mtarler I explain,
I work in a construction company. For example there is one work - Pile driving. Every day on a construction site workers drive piles and 1st day they drive 5 piles, 2nd day they drive 10 piles and etc. After I compare the actual work with the plan and change the percentage (percentage of completion) every day. the percentage - this is a formula and it changes automatically. And I want to save every the percentage every day. I want to save every day and meanings into my calendar.
And sometimes I want to see history of 30 days, sometimes history of 14 days.
And I want to date changes automatically every day(because it's a formula =NOW())
For example
Today 13.10.2021(A1) - 5 piles(B1). Tomorrow I want to see new date in A2 - 14.10.2021 and new B2 - 6 piles. This is a history of 2 days. In B1, B2 ... etc. there is formula and meanings update automatically from other files Excel. But the range is limited because the column E2(for example) contains today's value. And we have for example range between A2 and E2 (5 columns-5days). E2 should be always today's value. If columns A2-E2 contain the value of the latest dates, then tomorrow I want to see E2 = dates tomorrow, D2 = dates today, C2 = dates yesterday and values for each date, respectively
And I want to change value of history's days(30days or maybe 14days).
Excel book TV should show history of days, but meanings should update from Excel book PLAN.
And if now day comes I want to Excel make a new columns
Maksim757040 So I renamed a couple columns and the second sheet and also transposed the data on the second sheet ("TV") so it is horizontal. conceptually it is all the same but maybe closer to what you need? As for "automatically" creating the date, I recommend just having them hit CTRL ; to insert todays date but it could be done using a circular reference and change the sheet settings or using a macro (but then we need to change the file to xlsm and permit macros).
see if the attached is close.

It's close to what I want, but yes, I want to use macros for automatically processes to create the new date.
I created the sheet "DATE" where there are my today's date and info.
This meanings sholud be only in their own cell. NOW(A1), Info(A5).
Okey, next step: there is sheet "History". I don't mind this sheet, it's great to save my history. I understood and accepted your advice. But I want to in "History" automatically updated new date and info from "DATE". For example: A2=DATE!A1 and D2=DATE!A4 (This is my data from which automatically save) and this data goes from up to down. It means that A2 always is today's date and D2 always is today's info(This update happens automatically from the "DATE" sheet, tomorrow it will be one line lower (A3 and D3, respectively))
And finally step:
I want to see on sheet "TV" next: the date and info of the work must be horizontally located. Today's date and info have to be in last column(for example it can be K) and previous dates and info have to go from right to left. And also there is one moment, that column (which is to the righ, for example L) will be contained other info, which don't connect with info in range from K to A.
Also I want to be able to change number of days which I want to show and it should be happened next: I input number of days, which I want to show and Excel hides days and info, which don't fall into the desired range (info in this range has to disappear(and doesn't show error) or columns must be removed)
I'm sure I need macros because there are processes that should run automatically.Maksim7570 i think the attached does everything you want. i added a button to "ADD DATA" because if I made it automatic on update then every time someone made a mistake they have to go into the history page and delete that row. They still do if they make a mistake but at least they have to actually hit the button before it adds that data.
You say you need the macro because things are done automatically but that isn't true at all. The ONLY thing this macro is doing is copying the data into the table on the history sheet. The creation of the table on the TV page including the automatic update of that table based on the # of day you want to show is all done by the sheet formulas.

Your decision with the button looks great, but I have one problem)
My Excel doesn't recognize these formulas and maybe there are other decisions? other function or macro?
