Pulling data from closed files

[bhasan01854]

Helps when updating a particular report of the same format, but for different periods of time.

How to use:

Download all the necessary data in the advertising database format of tables from which the report is built, and put them in a separate folder. Open the final file in which the data is collected.





We put a link to the cells from the previously downloaded data.



If the report does not change, we put a link to a specific cell.





The data changes - we use the VLOOKUP function, which works even if you refer to a closed file.





Now, when updating a report, you just need to replace the data in the folder with the current data, open the final report and update the links in it.
