Maybe a repost----Creating Summary

[Guest]

I am trying to create a summary page that takes data from a dynamic number of worksheets. This numbers varies from day to day. They are located between blank sheets start! and end!. On execution of the macro I would like the following information, from each sheet, copied to the summary sheet in a columnwise fashion
On the summary
B1=SHEET1!C
C1=SHEET1!C
D1=SHEET1!C
B4:B27=SHEET!1B12:B104 (every 4th cell
C4:C27=SHEET!1C12:C104 (every 4th cell
D427=SUMMARY!B4:B27-SUMMARY!C4:C27 (difference between B4 and C4 copied down the range

A second general question... I posted this yesterday from webreader and it never showed up (I got a confirmation screen saying it was sent). Did I do something wrong or does this happen occasionally. What NNTP do I use for my newsreader

Thanks for all of your help You guys are great.

First, the easy question:

If you have Outlook Express installed, try clicking on these links (or copy and
paste into MSIE).

Here are some links that explain it better:

Now the difficult one. You said you want this columnar. But it looks like
sheet1 uses multiple columns.

If you don't get a useful response, you may want to rephrase and ask in a new
thread (this one may be too old to get replies???)

Yes sheet 1 uses multile columns, but the columns would be the same on the summary except for the every 4th. I suppose I could format summary! and hide the extra rows (and get around the every 4th cell issue). Then it would be a matter of just copying the rows from SHEETx! to SUMMARY! Reformatted it would look like...

SUMMARY!C7='SHEETx!' (Sheet Name
SUMMARY!B8:C104=SHEETx!B8:C10

Just to reiterate....the number of sheets changes each day, thus START! and END!
Hopes this clarifies som

Thanks again

I'm still confused (a common state).

And I think your question may be lost in the thread.

Can you rephrase and start a new thread?

Or maybe someone can jump in who understands.
