I'm gonna start by saying that I am not that experienced in excel and whatnot but I can manage with some instructions although I ran into a bit of a problem.
So, I've got a timesheet that supposedly tracks the start time, end time, project name and all those things, mind you, not a weekly timesheet, but a daily timesheet. I also have a row above all those columns showing the date and like I said, I'm not that experienced, I resorted to a drop down list with each day and month.
Now, the problem is, instead of copying the same table over and over again in a sheet, I want instead, whenever I change the date from the drop down list, all the cells that include the start time, end time, project name etc. to "reset" and likewise whenever I go back to a date that I've added data previously, to appear.
Is there any way in which I can do this ? Thank you!

I am trying to track when shipments arrive and leave a warehouse. Along with this I am trying to calculate the time spent in the warehouse.
The ideal solution would include a function where I would select which warehouse the shipment is arriving in and in a separate cell in the workbook it gives back the current date. At a later date I state that the item has left the warehouse, likely through use of a "yes' or "No" drop down menu, and another cell freezes the date of the day that it left. The purpose is to track how long a shipment stays in storage.
I realize I could go through and simply click CTRL+; but there are tens of thousands of shipments to track so it's unreasonable to do so.
This is the current function I have
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(N9)),"",DATEDIF(M9,TODAY(),"D"))
This is a circular function but if you click on the link below it explains why it works
I got it from this thread: How to freeze the =today() function once data has been entered
What I need to add is the piece where it interacts with the drop down menus.
Any and all help is appreciated.
So, I'm working on creating a simple ledger for tracking my finances in Excel. Currently, it looks like this:
So I've got a place to track my fixed monthly expenses, the actual ledger itself, and my current savings.
However, obviously that ledger is going to get kind of big over time. What I'd like to do is two things:
First, make the data in ONLY the Checking and Saving sections scroll. It doesn't appear that Freeze Panes will do what I want it to, since it only seems to do whole rows or columns.
Second, I'd like to set up the Checking section so that it only shows one month at a time, with some sort of selection (IE a drop-down) to change the month and year I'm looking at.
What would be my best options for this?
I'm tying to convert a matrix of data into a list of entries. I have found a few solutions that are close but nothing that I can get working completely. My challenges are I need 4 pieces of information from each row and I want it to be automatic. This Solution was close, but I need something That brings an extra two columns with it.I don't want to have to process the data once it's entered into the Grid.
I created something that works but I feel it's clumsy and there has to be a better way to do it. I have added a Sample Time sheet to my Google drive of what I have created. Essentially I enter the work order, description and pay code on the left. The dates are up top and hours hours worked are entered into the grid. I use a few simple formulas to make a list of every grid cell in the format my finance department needs and then bring it back into the main sheet to sort it. I feel this setup is fragile and it requires manual sort every time info is updated.
Can you help me get from the format on the left to the format on the right with 0 steps. The data arrangement on the left can be modified but the data on the right has to be exactly as show. Mostly I don't know what I'm trying to do is called. It took me longer than I care to admit to find the term "matrix to list." All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Ok this is a tad complicated to explain and im guessing even harder to solve. Im trying to automate a debtor's list at my work so we don't have to manually change it every week which can take hours. Currently we have one master file that contains all amounts owed to us and another that lists all outstanding amounts and any information on that client relevant to the invoice.
The master file is automated from a CSV file however i am attempting to integrate the overdue list into this and make it automated as possible. This issue im having is if i automate the debtors list then any comments i have are also erased
Client-----Invoice #-----Amount-----Comment
X----------1-------------400--------Will not pay until (###)
Y----------2-------------500--------Having an issue with designs
Z----------3-------------600--------Something
What happens when i automate this is that the comments remain however all the other columns are replaced with the current data which messes the entries up. Essentially what i thought to do is the following however im not sure how to implement it.
Have the master debtor list on one worksheet and another sheet for the debtor's and comments
Using a formula the 2nd sheet will extract values from the master sheet based on the following:
If the invoice number is on the master list and not the 2nd sheet then all information will be copied to the 2nd sheet.
If the invoice number is on the master list and the 2nd sheet nothing will be done
If the invoice number is on the 2nd sheet but not on the master list the information will be deleted
I basically want the information to be retrieved if it isn't there, deleted if it isn't on the master list and left alone if it is on both already. This will therefore let people add comments but automatically delete once payment has been recorded.
Any help would be fantastic as ive tried a huge amount of If, vlookup, match etc and can't seem to get the result id like.
I currently have a macro that inserts new information every day in the top of a table and bumps the old data down. I want to have a chart that depicts the first 7 days of data.
What keeps happening is when the chart updates for the new day, the chart is still pulling data from the 7 previous days rather than bumping up to incorporate the newest day.
How Do I Fix This? I Essentially Just Want to Permanently Set where the charts data comes from so that it doesn't change when rows are inserted above.
I'd use the record macro option for this. Just start recording, update your references and stop recording. As you always want to use the same references you can record it once and you won't need to change anything in it, then you can just run that as part of your other macro.
