Hi
I'd use a database application for this :-)

For a more specific answer it would be good if you provide more
details:
- what values to update
- where are they stored
- what is the exact output

But as said: Don't think Excel is the right tool for this.

OK, you guys have helped me out of some tight spots in the
past...hope the
trend continues! here's my dilemma:

I have a file that contains 26 sheets. Sheet 1 is a Chart compiled
of info
from Sheets 2-18. There are listings of potential Clients on these
sheets &
the amount of work that my Project Mgrs have done (therefore, each
sheet tab
is labeled with the PM's name). Lots of VLOOKUP formulas hidden in
there!
There's a column that also contains the name of the Partner in charge
of each
Client. This is important..

Sheet 19 is a Chart compiled of info from Sheets 20-26. The info on
Sheets
20-26 is actually the Partner info that I copy/pasted from sheets
2-18 BUT,
now my boss wants the sheets to automatically update whenever the PMs
change
the info on sheets 2-18, namely so I don't have to spend so much time
doing
the copy/paste thing.

So, long story, short version: I need a formula that will extract the
info
for each Partner each time the PMs update the file. If there are 5
sheets
(let's say they've been renamed to: LONG, BROWN, SHORT, HOWARD,
GATES) and I
want to pull info on each of those sheets where my Partner (let's
call him
BOSS1) is listed as the Partner & have it automatically update on my
boss's
sheet, what's the lookup? I've taken a stab at this already, much to
the
dismay of my now-aching head! So I'm leaving it in your hands :)

Thanks in advance!! (Hope I haven't confused you too much..)
