Thanks to both of you!!! I am amazed I was so close to the answer in
postulating a formula!!!

online.

You can "link" cells from one sheet to another so's what you enter on

sheet1
will be entered in sheet2.

On sheet2 in column B at B1 enter =sheet1!G1

You can drag/copy down as far as you need.

When you enter something in sheet1G1 it will be entered in sheet2B1

Watch out if you sort column G on sheet1, sheet2 won't follow.

These are the basics of linking.

Stupid newbie question, Excel 2003:

I have a 2 sheet document. SOME of the info from Sheet 1 needs to

appear on
Sheet 2.

For example, Sheet 1 Column G values need to be populated to Sheet 2 as
Column B, Column H needs to be Column D, etc.

Is there any way to automate this without having to write a VB script?

I
know a macro could kind of do it, but I don't think it could take all

the
parameters, since Sheet 1 is constanly being altered (i.e., new values,
etc.). Oh, and all rows are relational so that G3 value from Sheet 1

when it
goes to Sheet 2 B17 also has to have H3 from Sheet 1 go to D17.

Essentially,
the command is: suck only these input values from Sheet 1 and pout

them HERE
on Sheet 2.

It would be really nice if the formula could be set up not just as a

page
function but as a workbook function (i.e, =SH1A3 (as in Sheet 1, cell

A3),
but I haven't seen anything to suggest that this could be done, and my

excel
guru friend says she's never done anything but C&P to move info.

Have tried to read VB programming instrux and eyes glaze at the

gibberish.
Sorry, I am just a dumb girl trying to run Office, not a a techie who

can
even begin to understand prog jargon.

respond please via NG OR email.

THX!!!!
