Macros and VBA

Hi, 

 

I am trying to automatically update one spreadsheet and it populate to the master spreadsheet.  For example if I have 4 spreadsheets and 1 Master sheet in one workbook.  How can I make changes or update any of the 4 spreadsheets and the information I enter automatically populates to the Master sheet.  Please help!

 

Thank you in advance

Why not have the information all on the master sheet and ditch the others?

Ok, and maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong.  If I have one sheet and ditch the others, how would I have separate sheets for the specific information that I want to capture.  Essentially I want to have 1 master sheet, with 4-5 different sheets that were from the master.  For example:

The Master will show information for each employee.  I would like each employee to select their own respective sheets to populate information.  Any ideas?  

Right. But there is no fool-proof way to prevent people from accessing other people's worksheets. If that is problematic, all you can do is have a separate *file* for each individual and make sure files are ONLY made available to the correct people. With a setup like that, you can use Data, Get Data, From File, From Folder to pull in the data from the various workbooks people have filled out.
