In the 4th Sheet in Cell A1 type =TODAY()
In Cell A2 type Date
Set up a Worksheet Activate Event under VBA
Code could be as followed. I do not know the ranges or worksheet names so
you'll have to insert those yourself.
Dim wb As Worksheet
For Each wb in Worksheets
If Worksheet.Name = "Sheet4" Then
End Sub
Else
Range("A1").Activate
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
If ActiveCell.Value = Sheets("Sheet4").Range("A1").Value Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0,1).Copy
Sheets("Sheet4").Select
Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(1,0).PasteSpecial
Else Endif
Loop
Next wb
EndSub
I haven't really tested it, but if you understand VBA well you can solve
your way around the problems and get it to work. Basically its saying each
time you enter Sheet 4 to look through Sheets 1 through 3 for Todays date,
then copy the cell next to the date and paste it in to Sheet 4. Let me know
