How to take inputs from one table, plug them into a different table, and save a copy of outputs

Hello,

 

I have a question regarding how to take a row of inputs from one sheet, plug them into a table from another sheet, and save a copy of the results from the second sheet. That is the end result I would like to achieve. I will elaborate more below with specifics.

 

1) I have a workbook with 1 sheet. This workbook is called Analysis_Inputs and the sheet is called Inputs. It has a formatted table called All_Inputs with 4 columns that I want to be fed as inputs to another workbook. Each row of that table is its own set and I would like to iterate through each row.

2) The second workbook is where it takes 4 inputs and goes through some calculations in a table called Full_A. These calculations yield results that I want. This workbook is called Full_Analysis. The first sheet does the work and is called Analysis. The second sheet in this workbook is a summary of the first sheet and is called "Summary". 

3) What I ultimately want is to be able to save a copy of sheet "Summary" for each iterated row in workbook Analysis_Inputs. I would like each iteration to be saved to its own workbook, or to a different sheet within the same workbook. What I will then do is join all the resulting Summaries into a single table. This "table" is what my end result for this entire exercise. 

 

See my example excel files below. Workbook "Desired_Summaries" is the end result that I would like to see. 

I have very little experience with VBA code but some in Python and Matlab. 

Does anyone here have a good approach for reaching my desired outcome?

  <see new demo files in replies below>

Please let me know if you can't open the example files.

    If it takes too long to get another nibble, you might consider starting a new thread, making sure you include the files with your first post. I would also consider adding a bit more complete description (maybe with an example) of that first "iteration" routine you want, in bringing the data over from the inputs sheet to the analysis sheet.

    Those sample files seem to be on your own company's server (or behind some kind of wall)...I was prompted by Microsoft for a password, but the one for my own Microsoft account didn't work.....

     

    So if you can put them on a public OneDrive area, or a copy on GoogleDrive, then post a link here, that would be helpful.

     

    What you're describing sounds potentially like a process I follow in tracking some investments, taking data from one sheet, importing it to another, then building a summary of several of the intermediate sheets...... I'm eager to see if the process I use might be helpful to you.

        I can get (have gotten) Full_Analysis and Desired_Summaries, but the Analysis_Inputs link yields a screen which remains totally blank.
