  • Question - I've done some research & I don't believe it is possible to do what I want to do, but I thought maybe you might know of some way that it can be done. I am wanting to import data from an Excel 2007 document that is copied (file, save as) each month into another Excel 2007 document where the distination cells change each month. The main data source (contains formulas) calculates how much is spent each month on elec, gas, elevator maintenance, etc. for different buildings & the final calculated numbers need to filter into the destination file/cells - this is why it changes each month, as bills are paid monthly. Is this possible?
