    Lightbulb Creating a data base that stores data dynamically

    Hi to Everyone,

    I am looking for a solution to a specific problem,

    I want to create an excel workbook named as "DATABASE" , this workbook should be linked somehow with another excel named as "ENTRY DATA" .
    In this excel there will be some specific cells in which i can entry data, lets say A1:A5 for example. These values will automatically stored in the "DATABASE" workbook in the A1:A5 cells.
    Every time i want update the values in the A1:A5 cells in the "ENTRY DATA" wokbook, the current values should be stored in the B1:B5 cells in the "DATABASE" workbook for the first update,
    in the C1:C5 cells in the "DATABASE" workbook for the second update,in the D1:D5 cells in the "DATABASE" workbook for the third update etc.
    In this way i will keep the "ENTRY DATA" workbook with the latest updates and the rest of the values will be stored to the "DATABASE", minimazing copy-pased manual tasks and preventing loss of data.

    Do you have any idea how this can be achieved with a Macro or an other way?

    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Question Re: Creating a data base that stores data dynamically


    Hi,

    Why such weird idea to use Excel as a database software instead of a faster safer database software, what could be the benefit ?

    I would offer ... if you do use Excel for this project, storing past data in columns to the right is not standard. Existing data is normally stored
    in rows below.
