Hello, do you also do VBA video, example if I want to extract responders from a survey from one sheet and place in another sheet to add to other responders with their answers. Example: grab the responder # 2 that is located on row 3 and place in the another sheet row 3, and repeat the step with responder 3, row 4 and so forth. Imagine if I have 50 responders, 100, 1000. Each responder is located on different single workbook that is emailed to me. I could do this via google forms, but the social worker goes out in the street, or places and make survey via her/his laptop. Homeless/and or Mental people sometimes does not know how to use computer or don't have computer, or is not in full mental capacity, so, the interviewer needs to answer the survey in the laptop and when returns to office, the answers should be already calculated behind the scene at the time the social worker clicks on the check boxes to select answers.
