Update data when new data is entered in a rage of cells
Is there a way to update data on a different sheet (like a dashboard) only when new data is entered in a different sheet - and only display the new data. For example in sheet 2 I have a row of names and then a new dollar amount is entered next to their name, on sheet 1 I only want to display their name and the dollar amount when the dollar amount is updated. Only one will update at a time so I only want to display one name and dollar amount at a time when it updates on sheet 2.
Thanks.

rwagner34 This can be done using a macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim dashUpdate As Range Set dashUpdate = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Dashboard sheet").Range("5:5") If Intersect(Target, Range("G:G")) Is Nothing Then Else Target.EntireRow.Copy dashUpdate End If End SubThis macro must be on the sheet object where the data will be updated
"Dashboard sheet" needs to be the name of the sheet where the row will be copied to
and change "5:5" to the row where you want that row copied to
and change "G:G" to the column that matches the column with dollars that if updated you want copied.
Thank you!
I am getting an error from the first line - below. I did update the other data, should "Worksheet_Change" be something else? Under the screen shot is the Marco.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim dashUpdate As Range
Set dashUpdate = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Dashboard").Range("$A$6")
If Intersect(Target, Range("$B$4:$B$101")) Is Nothing Then
Else
Target.EntireRow.Copy dashUpdate
End IfEnd Sub
rwagner34 so in the VBA editor you need to open the code page for the specific Sheet. And then in that window select Worksheet from the left drop down and the right will likely auto populate with SelectionChange but otherwise select that:
If you pasted that Sub into workbook or a module or something, yeah it won't understand.
