I need a macro, as and when the data is entered in the employee sheet, the master file should update on its own.

Please let me know if you have any question, appreciate your help

Thanks,

Hi Ron
Welcome to VBAX
You can post a sample workbook using Manage Attachments in the Go Advanced reply section. Can you show sample data and the desired result?

Hello....

Thank you!!

I have attached a sample spreadsheet

[mdmackillop]

Without a macro, in E2 enter
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($B2,INDIRECT("'" & E$1 & "'!$B:$E"),4,0)),"",VLOOKUP($B2,INDIRECT("'" & E$1 & "'!$B:$E"),4,0))
copy across and down

Hi,

Thank you for the reply!!

I still have one problem, in masterfile the formula works under column E, F and G..thats awesome!! ...unfortunately doesnt meet my requirement

For example :- I have added a field under RON, but I dont see anything under masterfile, Its blank.

I want the field

3prepare roq3/2/20113/22/2011Pending

(entered under the tab Ron)

which I have entered under Ron..to be automatically updated in masterfile. unfortunately its blank.. I have updated the spreadhseet with the recent formula..hope this explaination helps!

For something like this to work, you need consistent activity names between the master sheet and all other sheets. This is best done by maintaining one activity list and using data validation to allow only those values to be entered. This would apply to Macros or Formulae.
With regard to Dates, I don't see how you can return conflicting dates from 3 sheets.
I think you should plan further the best way to insert new data and update existing.

I have a code which executes, but have two problems, the code executes only for 3 tabs but I want the code to execute for 10 tabs.

next problem is, in any tab when I enter it reflects in masterfile, but when I delete something in the tab, masterfile still shows the data.

I have attached spreadsheet, and also the code

There is no code in the workbook

Ooops!!! Sorry, had sent you the old file, please check it now

Thank you

Either you need to hard code your sheet names or otherwise organise/distinguish them so that Name sheets can be counted. This assumes Name Sheets follow the Master sheet and there is a final "extra sheet" as per your example. BTW, If you got your code at another site, please give a link to that location, and a link there to this thread.
