Answer: Reference the same row from another sheet after inserting a new ro
Yes, you can use the VLOOKUP function to achieve this. Here are the steps:
- In the cell where you want to reference the data from another sheet, enter the formula
Code:
=VLOOKUP(A2,October!$A:$G,7,FALSE)
. Replace "A2" with the cell that contains the account number you want to reference, "October" with the name of the sheet you want to reference from, and "$A:$G" with the range of cells that contains the data you want to reference from that sheet. - Copy the formula down to the other cells in the column.
- When you insert a new row for a new account, enter the account number in the first column of the new row.
- Excel will automatically update the VLOOKUP formula to reference the correct row on the other sheet based on the account number you entered in the new row.
- If you want to make sure that the VLOOKUP formula always references the correct sheet, you can replace "October" in the formula with a cell reference that contains the name of the sheet you want to reference from. For example, if cell C1 contains the text "October", you can modify the formula to
Code:
=VLOOKUP(A2,INDIRECT("'"&C1&"'!$A:$G"),7,FALSE)
. This will allow you to easily change the sheet name in one place if you need to.
