asked on

updating an excel spreadsheet from data input through another Excel spreadsheet

I have a spreadsheet that has membership information on it.  I have another spreadsheet that allows the user to select answers to questions from a listbox on another spreadsheet.

I know using vlookup I can read data.  Is there a way to update a spreadsheet with a value that has been entered on another spreadsheet and save the value.

Yes, it would simply be an equal formula (except for 2 different files)

Your VBA has to say (lets say you have to update the value in cell A1)

activesheet.range("A1").value = otherworkbookname.otherworkbooksheet.range("A1").value

Let me know if this is the logic you are looking for, then I can design a quick VBA

Yes this is the logic.  It is slightly more complicated.  I will have a member ID in Sheet1!A4.  This ID will be used to update the  respective row in column K in Sheet2 where the member ID will be i ncolumn A with the value from Sheet1!H3.

The question was answered in another question so I just copied the solution in.  I am not sure how to bring the other question into this one.
