Is it possible?
I have a workbook with several tabs. The top tab is the main spreadsheet
were I enter all my gathered data. The other tabs are the same spreadsheet, the same data, but broken out by specific building. Right now, I enter the data (alpha and numeric) into the main spreadsheet, then manually copy/paste it to the respective sub-level spreadsheet. I can specify the "IF" part of the line item that would identify which sheet to copy it to, but is it possible to have a "THEN copy and paste [these cells]" to the other spreadsheets? Perhaps I am just dreaming here. However, looking through archives I have found solutions to so many things, and learned so much, I figure what the heck, I might as well ask! Thanks for all the great info you folks pass around here. It has helped make me a "star" employee and allowed me to do some things no one even thought was possible. -- Learning and growing everyday. |

Absolutely possible if you can define what and how you want to do it

Hi DakotaNJ,
here's a trivial example which looks at the value in A1 on Sheet1 and if it is greater than 10 places that value into A1 on Sheet2, otherwise the value in A1 on Sheet2 is not changed. Public Sub paste_If() If Sheet1.Cells(1, 1) 10 Then Sheet2.Cells(1, 1).Value = Sheet1.Cells(1, 1) End If End Sub When trying out code make sure you have a back up copy of the workbook. The effects of code are NOT undo-able. Ken Johnson |

Dakota
A formula can only return values to the cell in which it resides. It cannot "push" data to another cell. Maybe you can link the sub sheets to the master? On Sheet2 A1 enter =Master!G23 When you update Master G23 then Sheet2 A1 will update also. If you truly want to "push" data from one range/sheet to another you would have to use VBA code/macros. Similar to........... Sub Pu****() Sheets("Master").Range("A1:J10").Copy _ Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("K43") End Sub OR same thing using values. Sub Valueit() Sheets("Sheet2").Range("K43").Resize(10, 10).Value = _ Worksheets("Master").Range("A1:J10").Value End Sub Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Sat, 10 Dec 2005 06:12:40 +0800, "PY & Associates" wrote: Absolutely possible if you can define what and how you want to do it manually.

If I understand what you're looking for, it should be relatively easy and
uncomplicated. Depending on the configuration of the data on your main sheet, you could use either a Vlookup() function or an Index & Match combination. You would fill your "sub" sheets with these functions to pull the data from the main sheet, where the building ID would be the main criteria determining which sub sheet would be able to pull the data. This assumes that one of the fields on the main sheet *does* contain the individual building ID. Post back with how your main sheet is set-up, and I'm sure you'll get what you're looking for. -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "DakotaNJ" wrote in message ...

OK, let me see if I can make this clear enough:
On the Main sheet it looks like this. These are in-plant accidents that I investigate and track. Acc#: Carr: Invest: Name: Dept: Div: Date: FDO: LT: RD: Injury: Part: 1 XXX Yes Sam AM 104 1-3 1-3 0 0 C X The "other" tabs are specific to building (Div.). So, when I enter a line item on the main spreadsheet, I need Excel to identify it using the DIV cell (in this case 104), then copy the entire line of info to the "104" spreadsheet (or, obviously whichever on is applicable), which is exactly the same set-up as the main spreadsheet. Right now, when I enter a line on the Master sheet, I simply copy/paste it to the "other" sheet. You folks are getting me pretty excited! I'm starting to think this may be possible. This whole workbook is really coming along nicely. I have figured out how to pull key figures from one sheet to another, then graph the figures in yet another. I'm just having a mental block with this final function, which would allow the workbook to do all the actual work, leaving me to simply enter the initial information. Thanks for all your input!

Assume ... your "Main" sheet datalist starts with labels in Row1,
And goes from A1 to L100. *All other* sheets have the Div # in A1, So, labels in Row2, *exactly* matching the column labels in "Main". Enter this *array* formula in A3 of *all* your other sheets: =IF(COUNTIF(Main!$F$1:$F$100,$A$1)=ROWS($1:1),IND EX(Main!A$1:A$100,SMALL(IF(Main!$F$1:$F$100=$A$1,R OW($1:$100)),ROW(1:1))),"") -- Array formulas must be entered with CSE, <Ctrl <Shift <Enter, instead of the regular <Enter, which will *automatically* enclose the formula in curly brackets, which *cannot* be done manually. Now, after the CSE entry, copy this formula across to L3. Then, select A3 to L3, and drag down to copy as far as needed. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "DakotaNJ" wrote in message ...

Thanks RD, I am beginning to "see" the solution, but admit this is all very
foreign to me. So, using the array formula you provided, I was able to break it down and modify it as necessary, but I still cannot understand a few things. Please bear with me here. I have modified the formula to fit specific cell values as follows: YOUR VERSION: =IF(COUNTIF(Main!$F$1:$F$100,$A$1)=ROWS($1:1),IND EX(Main!A$1:A$100,SMALL(IF(Main!$F$1:$F$100=$A$1,R OW($1:$100)),ROW(1:1))),"") MY VERSION: =IF(COUNTIF(FNb!$F$5:$F$154,$A$1)=ROWS($1:1),INDE X(FNb!A$5:A$154,SMALL(IF(FNb!$F$5:$F$154=$A$1,ROW( $1:$100)),ROW(1:1))),"") OK, so "Main" now equals my main spreadsheet name "FNb" "F1:F100" now equals the range of cells to evaluate for a match, that is F5:F154 (this is where the DIV # is stored on the main spreadsheet). A1 is the "label" of the lower spreadsheets. In this case the spreadsheet is called FNbW and that value is located in A1 of the lower spreadsheet (as it is for all spreadsheets) I'm not sure what "=ROWS($1:1)" is?? Can you explain this so I can be sure the formula here is correct? As I understand this, using my specific labels, when I enter my information in a row on the FNb spreadsheet, where the F-column entry equals "FNbW", then the FNbW spreadsheet will recognize it and copy the entire row from the FNb spreadsheet onto the FNbW spreadsheet. Is that the methodology? Feels like I am relatively close to getting this to work. I was able to enter the array into cell A:3 (is this cell specific or just for example?). I was able to CSE the array and get curly brackets. I was not able to understand the instruction from there. Where do I copy it to? And what range of cells do I use? I need to copy a row into a row of the other spreadsheet. So, as you can see, I'm still confused here. Thanks for your time. You should get an award for tolerating these questions!

Here's your revised formula to use.
=IF(COUNTIF(FNb!$F$5:$F$154,$A$1)=ROWS($1:1),INDE X(FNb!A$5:A$154,SMALL(IF(F Nb!$F$5:$F$154=$A$1,ROW($1:$150)),ROW(1:1))),"") Don't forget to use CSE! "=ROWS($1:1)" Is just a counter that increments as it's copied down. It's part of the COUNTIF() error trap, so that you won't receive #NUM! errors when your formula runs out of matching rows on the FNb sheet. You see that I changed: "ROW($1:$100)" TO "ROW($1:$150)" That is the total number of rows in the datalist - (F5:F154) You can enter the formula anywhere you wish on each of the "sub" sheets. You must then copy that formula (*after* a CSE entry), from it's original cell location, across 11 columns, so that you have a total of 12 columns of formula, covering the 12 columns of the original datalist on Sheet FNb. You then select *all* 12 columns of formula, And copy down as many rows as you want (need). Not to confuse you, but you can do this all in "one shot". You can group all your "sub" sheets together, so that you paste, and CSE enter, and drag and copy your formula only once, and it'll be duplicated on all the sheets in the group. Select the first "sub" sheet tab, hold <Ctrl, and click in each sheet tab that you wish to have in the "group", (*not* the main FNb sheet). These tabs now are colored white, and the word "Group" is appended to the name in the Title Bar. Now, whatever you do to one, is automatically done to all the others in the group. When you're finished, to "Ungroup", just click in the tab of your FNb sheet. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "DakotaNJ" wrote in message ...

Is it possible?
AARRGGGHHHH!!!!!!
I'm somehow missing something. I was able to copy the formula into the A:3 cells of each spreadsheet, I CSE'd them, got a #VALUE response in each of those cells. I copied that cell into a row across the spreadsheet, then copied that row down through all rows. I get a #VALUE in each of those cells. I go to the main FNb spreadsheet, enter a row of information and nothing. Now, my "main" (the source of the data) is actually called: Summary FNb 2006, each of the sub-spreadsheets is called Summary FNbW, or Summary FNb-C (divisions within the FNb organization), etc. These are the names of each sub-spreadsheet and the exact name that is located in the A:3 cell of each sub-sheet. I tried to modify the formula, changing "FNb" to "Summary FNb 2006" in all instances where necessary. Problem is, when I CSE it it is looking for a file and a window opens "File Not Found", so I try to route to the file location, and the file is not there!?! In fact it won't list out any of the Excel files. So, I saved the file to Desktop and tried again, still won't list it even though it is located there and I am looking for the correct file extension. Very frustrating! What am I doing wrong here? I surmise, without the file look up location it has no idea where it is looking? This would be so much easier if there was a way to show you the spreadsheet. Then perhaps we would be discussing the same exact thing. How you even answer these questions purely based on text messages is beyond me. I bow to your superior intellect. Heck, I get confused just trying to explain it to you. LOL Please, pardon my ignorance and see if you can figure out what I am doing wrong. With much appreciation.

It seems that each new post of yours divulges *new* information or *changes*
information previously stated. OR ... you're making a bunch of typos! What is the *exact* name of your MAIN sheet, including spaces? Are you *sure* that there are *no* spaces at the beginning and/or the end of the name? The "File Not Found" window is coming up because the sheet name in the formula *does not* match ANY sheet in the workbook. That can also give you a #VALUE! error when you by-pass it. Are you entering the name of the sub sheet in *A1* or *A3* of each sub sheet? ? ? Do some of the names of the sub sheets contain dashes (Summary FNb-C), and some don't (Summary FNbW)?

Thanks RD, I am beginning to "see" the solution, but admit this is all very foreign to me. So, using the array formula you provided, I was able to break it down and modify it as necessary, but I still cannot understand a few things. Please bear with me here. I have modified the formula to fit specific cell values as follows: YOUR VERSION: =IF(COUNTIF(Main!$F$1:$F$100,$A$1)=ROWS($1:1),IND EX(Main!A$1:A$100,SMALL(IF (Main!$F$1:$F$100=$A$1,ROW($1:$100)),ROW(1:1))),"" ) MY VERSION: =IF(COUNTIF(FNb!$F$5:$F$154,$A$1)=ROWS($1:1),INDE X(FNb!A$5:A$154,SMALL(IF(F Nb!$F$5:$F$154=$A$1,ROW($1:$100)),ROW(1:1))),"") OK, so "Main" now equals my main spreadsheet name "FNb" "F1:F100" now equals the range of cells to evaluate for a match, that is F5:F154 (this is where the DIV # is stored on the main spreadsheet). A1 is the "label" of the lower spreadsheets. In this case the spreadsheet is called FNbW and that value is located in A1 of the lower spreadsheet (as it is for all spreadsheets) I'm not sure what "=ROWS($1:1)" is?? Can you explain this so I can be sure the formula here is correct? As I understand this, using my specific labels, when I enter my information in a row on the FNb spreadsheet, where the F-column entry equals "FNbW", then the FNbW spreadsheet will recognize it and copy the entire row from the FNb spreadsheet onto the FNbW spreadsheet. Is that the methodology? Feels like I am relatively close to getting this to work. I was able to enter the array into cell A:3 (is this cell specific or just for example?). I was able to CSE the array and get curly brackets. I was not able to understand the instruction from there. Where do I copy it to? And what range of cells do I use? I need to copy a row into a row of the other spreadsheet. So, as you can see, I'm still confused here. Thanks for your time. You should get an award for tolerating these questions!

brackets anymore. I copy the formula from this message, paste it into the A3 cell, perform CSE and I get #VALUE as a result, but no curly brackets.

I would guess that you're now a victim of "word wrap".
Try this: Copy the formula, Click in A3, Click in the formula bar, Right click in the formula bar, Choose "Paste", If you now see the expanded formula bar with the formula displayed on multiple lines, *AND* you see that each line of the formula *doesn't* appear to fill all of the lines, with a lot of space at the end of each line, you know you've got wrapping. You can try to click at the end of a line and hit <Delete, but you've got to make sure that you don't delete characters *OR* spaces. You might have to go the manual route to enter the formula.

Hello RD-
Thanks again for your continued help. After much struggling I was able to enter the formula into the formula bar, manually seemed to work better. Here is the present formula (I changed 2005 to 2006 in order to play with a copy of the original, this would be next years spreadsheet) =IF(COUNTIF('Summary FNb 2006'!$F$5:$F$154,$A$1)=ROWS($1:8),INDEX('Summary FNb 2006'!A$5:A$154,SMALL(IF('Summary FNb 2006'!$F$5:$F$154=$A$1,ROW($1:$150)),ROW(8:8))),"" ) Wordwrap was indeed a problem which I was able to correct. Although I have performed CSE, I do not see the curly brackets in the formula and I receive a #VALUE in the A3 cell. Oddly, it seems all the cells in the spreadsheet are reacting to the formula in that when I click on a cell within the spreadsheet, it seems to contain the formula and the ROW reference changes accordingly. Have I done something wrong? It seems that when I click on any cell within A6:O45 it shows the formula in the bar and the ROW reference changes. I had tried to use F2 then CSE, it took my PC several minutes to execute this and then I received a "0" in cells in the A column. Since this was not acceptable, I reversed this action. Perhaps it did not reverse? I still cannot enter data on the main sheet and have it post to the sub-sheet. Nothing happens. Where do I go from here?

Problem is, when I CSE it it is looking for a file and a window opens "File Not Found", so I try to route to the file location, and the file is not there!?! In fact it won't list out any of the Excel files. So, I saved the file to Desktop and tried again, still won't list it even though it is located there and I am looking for the correct file extension. Very frustrating! What am I doing wrong here? I surmise, without the file look up location it has no idea where it is looking? This would be so much easier if there was a way to show you the spreadsheet. Then perhaps we would be discussing the same exact thing. How you even answer these questions purely based on text messages is beyond me. I bow to your superior intellect. Heck, I get confused just trying to explain it to you. LOL Please, pardon my ignorance and see if you can figure out what I am doing wrong. With much appreciation.

"=ROWS($1:1)" Is just a counter that increments as it's copied down. It's part of the COUNTIF() error trap, so that you won't receive #NUM! errors when your formula runs out of matching rows on the FNb sheet. You see that I changed: "ROW($1:$100)" TO "ROW($1:$150)" That is the total number of rows in the datalist - (F5:F154) You can enter the formula anywhere you wish on each of the "sub" sheets. You must then copy that formula (*after* a CSE entry), from it's original cell location, across 11 columns, so that you have a total of 12 columns of formula, covering the 12 columns of the original datalist on Sheet FNb. You then select *all* 12 columns of formula, And copy down as many rows as you want (need). Not to confuse you, but you can do this all in "one shot". You can group all your "sub" sheets together, so that you paste, and CSE enter, and drag and copy your formula only once, and it'll be duplicated on all the sheets in the group. Select the first "sub" sheet tab, hold <Ctrl, and click in each sheet tab that you wish to have in the "group", (*not* the main FNb sheet). These tabs now are colored white, and the word "Group" is appended to the name in the Title Bar. |

With the formula entered into a cell, and *after* the "wrap" is eliminated,
you must be in *edit* mode for the CSE to work. That means, you must *either* click in the formula bar, OR hit <F2 when the cell with the formula is selected.

WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's working!! The problem was I was using the A3 cell reference as the absolute location to enter the formula. The actual location, based on what I saw on your example, was the first cell in the entry area, in my case A5 (because of title and headings). So, the "130" I saw returned was actually the formula trying to pull the information over, which began with "130" in the first cell. I re-entered the formula in the correct cell, then copied across and viola! Information filled the row! RD, I cannot thank you enough for your diligence and patience here. You should get an award! This is a great way to end the week. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! RagDyer Rocks!!! Regards, Dominick -- Learning and growing everyday.

Hi;
I reviewed over your posts helping out the gentleman DakotaNJ. I have the same situation that I have an enormous amount of data I am receiving from eight sources continually. This means that my data records need to be dynamic in a sense. I have set up my initial sheet to be just a dynamic receptacle of info from the other sources. But the other sheets I need to report the data using the criteria of a certain column as the key. Example: I have eight salesmen that fill out reports on the status flow of sales from the inquiries to open quotations to orders or lost to competition. One column has that status data in it. The other columns have information on dates, sales rep., estimator, amounts, notes, customer etc. I would like to set up a series of sheets with only the data per certain criteria: lets say by estimator or by status or by sales rep. I would still like the complete row of information to be included with this sort per sheet. Matt (my network admin.) and I have been looking at your formula you proposed for DakotaNJ and have tried to apply it to our work sheets with little results. We can get one line of data, but it is pointing at the wrong line of data. Second lines or third lines give a host of errors including circular errors. I could enclose the test work book that I am using to give you a first hand view. I do not see any way to email this to you though. I have the simple test sheets that I have been describing and there is the full list by quote sheet that shows what the real information looks like after it is sorted by Quote number. Thank you for your help. John Sales Manager "RagDyer" wrote: If I understand what you're looking for, it should be relatively easy and uncomplicated. Depending on the configuration of the data on your main sheet, you could use either a Vlookup() function or an Index & Match combination. You would fill your "sub" sheets with these functions to pull the data from the main sheet, where the building ID would be the main criteria determining which sub sheet would be able to pull the data. This assumes that one of the fields on the main sheet *does* contain the individual building ID. Post back with how your main sheet is set-up, and I'm sure you'll get what you're looking for. -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "DakotaNJ" wrote in message ... I have a workbook with several tabs. The top tab is the main spreadsheet were I enter all my gathered data. The other tabs are the same spreadsheet, the same data, but broken out by specific building. Right now, I enter the data (alpha and numeric) into the main spreadsheet, then manually copy/paste it to the respective sub-level spreadsheet. I can specify the "IF" part of the line item that would identify which sheet to copy it to, but is it possible to have a "THEN copy and paste [these cells]" to the other spreadsheets? Perhaps I am just dreaming here. However, looking through archives I have found solutions to so many things, and learned so much, I figure what the heck, I might as well ask! Thanks for all the great info you folks pass around here. It has helped make me a "star" employee and allowed me to do some things no one even thought was possible. -- Learning and growing everyday. |

Is it possible?
Is this a new question or just a added response?
If a new question, I would suggest a Lookup table and a few formulas. See Debra Dalgleish's site for help with VLOOKUP. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlFunctions02.html Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 18 Sep 2006 03:21:02 -0700, mat wrote: to fill 4 cells to the right with different numbers and letters on a basic spreadsheet using a single command code eg type L1 and the following 4 cells fill with the selected information automatic and be able to type L2 in the the same cell if diferent information to L1 is needed "RagDyer" wrote: Whew ! ! !

WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's working!! The problem was I was using the A3 cell reference as the absolute location to enter the formula. The actual location, based on what I saw on your example, was the first cell in the entry area, in my case A5 (because of title and headings). So, the "130" I saw returned was actually the formula trying to pull the information over, which began with "130" in the first cell. I re-entered the formula in the correct cell, then copied across and viola! Information filled the row! RD, I cannot thank you enough for your diligence and patience here. You should get an award! This is a great way to end the week. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! RagDyer Rocks!!! Regards, Dominick -- Learning and growing everyday.

My workbook is set up much like yours, the formulas are identical in nature, but it clearly works on your WB and not on mine. What could I be missing? Gonna try re-entering it again and see what happens. Thanks for your helop, have a great weekend. Regards, Dominick -- Learning and growing everyday.

Yes! We now have the formula located in the A3 cell (returned a value of 130?), and I copied that cell formula into the first row, then copied that row down to the end of the spreadsheet. All cells are blank. What next? I entered a line on the main spreadsheet and it didn't copy to the sub-sheet? Regards, Dominick -- Learning and growing everyday.

That means, you must *either* click in the formula bar, OR hit <F2 when the cell with the formula is selected. You can tell when you're in "edit" mode by looking at what's displayed in the status bar. Click in a cell containing the formula. The status bar displays "Ready". Change it to "Edit" by doing either of the above, THEN ...

OK, I cleared the spreadsheet cell contents. Cleared the formula. Closed out the program. Reopened and re-entered the formula. Still can't get curly brackets though.
