I have data set that I am currently exporting into an excel sheet. Moving forward, I would like to continue to export into that same sheet without deleting the data currently in that sheet.

 

The reason I would like to do this is because I am currently running the data for a large timeframe which causes the program to run for an extended period of time. If i was to shorten the timeframe to the latest month, and simply add the latest months data into the existing sheet, this would make things go much faster.

 

Is there a way to do that within my program? Thank you for your help.

Not easily I'm afraid. It's easier to redo the full workbook IMO. I actually can't even think of any way at the moment.

Can you tell me what you mean by redo the full workbook? What are some ideas you have? Im not sure how I would really go about this.

Pretty much what you’re doing now. Any incremental load would use a different tool, DDE or VBS in my experience and then you increase the chance of issues.
