how do i automatically archive old cell contents to a separate .

[Guest]

I have a worksheet that contains lists of "action items", that is used to
keep track of jobs that need to be done. I want to be able to automatically
move the contents of a row of cells to another worksheet once the action item
has been completed. In other words, once I have changed the value in a cell
to "yes" (the action has been completed), the information is archived in a
separate worksheet.

Is this possible, and how?

I'd keep them in place, but use Data|Filter|autofilter to show/hide what I want.

I think it makes life much more simple--especially when you're assigning blame

But if you want, you could always sort by that field and cut the rows you want
and paste to the different sheet.

If you really want a macro, you may find something close at:

Debra's site:

Create New Sheets from Filtered List -- uses an Advanced Filter to create
separate sheet of orders for each sales rep visible in a filtered list; macro
automates the filter. AdvFilterRepFiltered.xls 35 kb

or

Update Sheets from Master -- uses an Advanced Filter to send data from
Master sheet to individual worksheets -- replaces old data with current.
AdvFilterCity.xls 55 kb

or maybe Ron de Bruin's easyfilter.
