    Question Recording value of a cell which changes daily

    Hi

    I have a worksheet which used various inputs to calculate a score value.
    These inputs are updated daily meaning the output score value updates daily.

    I have been looking for a formula that will allow me to automatically keep a record of these daily values to allow a trend graph to be produced over time.

    I have been looking for a formulas that will automatically record this score value(cell D6) into another cell (D14). When the sheet is updated with the next days inputs cell D6 will automatically update. I would like for this new value to be recorded in to cell D15 whilst retaining the previous days result in cell D14 and continue in this manner, recoding the next days score value in the next cell below.

    I have attached a sheet for reference.

    Note: This whole example is a simplified version of what I am looking for as I hope to understand the process behind it. My actual sheet has multiple score values which I am looking to record and trend over time over the course of hundreds of days.



    I have looked through various post on here and on the net and I am kind of getting the feeling I may have to use a macro or vba code. I am hoping to avoid this as I have literally no idea where to start on this and would have to spend a fair bit of time going over the basics of coding.

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Re: Recording value of a cell which changes daily

    Hi -

    I was a little confused in that you said you wanted daily scores, but your example is weeks. I added a column B for daily dates and did it that way. I have attached a draft working model. You can try this approach:

    I have today's date in cell D4 (just using the TODAY() function). this is how it would work on a daily basis. To test it, however, you will just enter different dates into cell D4 (which is what I did to fill in the data for 8/22-8/24). In cell D14 I have the following formula:

    =IF(B14=$D$4,$D$6,D14)

    This compares the list of dates in column B (B14) to today's date. If the date is equal to today's date, then it reads whatever value is in D6. If not, it uses a circular reference to refer to itself. This way, after a data point is entered and the date has passed, the value stored in cells D14 on down don't change. Excel will gripe that you have circular references, but ignore those.

    One caveat. By nature, circular references can be a little funky. So every week I would copy your data to a separate spreadsheet and Paste Special to paste the values there. That way you have a permanent record of your recorded measurements.

    The other way to do it is as you suggest using some VBA, but that is out of my skill set as well.

    Hope this helps.
