search in reference sheet for value,copy row into ref-sheet, if value not found.

[emsieg]

Hi,

i have 2 open sheets, one called bookings, and other is called reference.

in booking i add in the first column a value which i search in reference.

Some customers are new, so does not appear in reference and the value in column A is invalid.

In such a case, this row(with new customer) needs to be added at the end of reference(except several columns)and reference needs to be saved with filename-date-time.xlsx.


I´m not too deep in macro and it took me quite a while to search in reference.


I already found a way to save the sheet, but it saves active sheet, where i run the macro, not the reference sheet.


Any idea how i could add new customers into reference sheet and autosave it after addition of new values?


regards
