Excel spreadsheet

I have a spreadsheet with data regarding drugs availability that changes on a monthly basis. I would like to keep the history of issues hidden and just show the most recent update.
For example:
Drug xx:
UPDATE August 2020: Out of stock until September 2020
UPDATE July 2020: Out of stock until August 2020
June 2020: Manufacturing problems, likely out of stock until July 2020

So I would like to keep the Update August 2020 but keep the rest in another hidden tab? Is there a way in excel that this can be done automatically.

RE: Excel spreadsheet

Hi Maribel,

Thank you for the forum question.

Everything (almost) is possible in Excel, but what you want is complicated. We do not have a tool in Excel which can automate this process, but it can be VBA coded. You will need to have advanced VBA knowledge to work with solutions like this.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Return to the active cell after scrolling

When I scroll a long way down the screen from a selected cell, I can return to that cell with the Ctrl+Back Space shortcut. The active cell now appears in roughly the middle of the screen.

Shift+Back Space does something similar. Scroll down from the active cell and Shift+Back Space returns me to it and puts the active cell at the top of the screen; scroll up from the active cell and Shift+Back Space returns me to it and puts the active cell at the bottom of the screen.

Note also, that while Ctrl+Back Space will return me back to a selected range, Shift+Back Space only ever returns me to the active cell, which is normally at the top left-hand corner of any selected range.
