Hello,

I'd appreciate if somebody could please point me in the right direction on this...

I'm a sales/supervisor for a rough interior construction company. There was literally zero system or template to base anything off when I was promoted and took the tool belt off.

I presently have a huge spreadsheet built, where page 1 is an on-site measuring tool, auto fills values on page 2 into total material needed, labour and material cost, etc, auto fills onto page 3 where it's a private breakdown page of profit and all of my hidden formulas to get page 1 to page 2 etc... Page 4 is auto filled from above as a Work Order sheet to hand out to sub-contractors.

I'd like that Work Order to be a separate sheet altogether. All I can figure out is the long way -- select area, copy, new sheet, paste, then repaste with the values. My boss isn't nearly as computer efficient as I, so what I'd like that new sheet to do is just auto fill off of the specific Sheet1 cells like it currently does (as page 4), so if he using the template, that separate sheet fills itself in, I can have the print area set for just that (that part I know how lol), and bam, I don't have home work every night.

Specifically, I want A to J of 124 to 171 to formulate onto it's own sheet. And I have no idea how to insert a macro.

Thanks in advance.

Hi somemikeguy,

Have you tried the macro recorder (found under the developers ribbon)?

Click the recording button, do your copy/paste action, stop recording. Now you will be able to repeat the process by hitting Alt+F8 and running the recorded macro.

Best regards,
Trowa
