Generate Report

P

Peter Carlson

I have one sheet called master list which is basically a customer list of:

custid, name, address, state, ...
On a different sheet I want to make a report that does something like:

State: <enter state>
(Macro, or auto) Select * from master_list where $State_Col = state

This way I can have a nice formatted report for each state, and I can
simply enter the state and either run a macro, or have it auto run based
upon a change in state to make the rest of the report.

I know this is probably best suited for a database, but for right now we
really like the auto-filter capability and dont want to move everything
to a DB.

Why not use Autofilter, then, selecting the State from your State
column? You can highlight the visible cells and copy them to another
sheet quite easily.

Hope this helps.

Because I want to avoid a copy and paste. I need to automate it just a
little bit. So I have this function

Sub DoReport()
With Worksheets("Master List")
.Range("A2:O2").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Report").Range("A4")
End With

End Sub

But I would like to modify that so it paste's only values (no formating,
like paste special) and so that it only selects where state = $Report$A1
