I have a spreadsheet with several columns and I make entries in rows across
the columns. I would like to be able to have some of those entries copied
into another sheet to save making the entries twice.

I can see how to get a cell in the second sheet to pick up the entries in
the first but I may add rows in the first sheet from time to time and I want
these to be automatically picked up in the second.

Also, in the first sheet there are some rows which I don't want copied over,
and I may make entries in rows subsequent to these. How can I accommodate
all this?

Small Sample...

Sheet1Range A1:C6
Code Amt Dup?Sheet2
abc 1,123.00 Y
cds 1,234.00 Y
vvv 1,345.00 N
bb 1,456.00 Y

Apply Data, Auto-Filter on C1 = Y
to get:
Code Amt Dup?Sheet2
abc 1,123.00 Y
cds 1,234.00 Y
bb 1,456.00 Y

Highlight selection and COPY;

Move to Sheet2
and in A1 Edit, Paste-Special
Click the "Paste-Link" Button

It's a start --- Maybe?????

Jim,

Thanks for this. Unfortunately I'm not as skilled as you are and don't
readily follow your post.

Firstly, are you telling me to enter the following into cells?
Sheet1Range A1:C6
Code Amt Dup?Sheet2
abc 1,123.00 Y
cds 1,234.00 Y
vvv 1,345.00 N
bb 1,456.00 Y

i.e., into A1 I would put *Sheet1Range A1:C6*
into B1,B2,B3 *Code Amt Dup?Sheet2*
and the other items into 4 rows in 3 columns beneath?

Rob

Originally, I meant to say Sheet1Range A1:C5 << The reference to
Sheet1RangeA1..
was not intended to be entered into the sheet.
Does that help.

Thanks Jim.

Now if I enter some data in say Sheet1, row C6 I would like it to
automatically find its way to a row in Sheet 2.

Rob:
My take on what you were wanting to do was to suggest that your
use the Copy of your Full Data from Sheet1 and do a Paste-Special - Paste
Link to Sheet2.
That way, whatever changes you make to the existing records on Sheet1
auto-update
the same records on sheet2 as each of your cells on sheet2 are linked to
it's couterpart
cell on sheet1.

Now, if you periodically add rows to sheet1, it would be "easiest" to simply
again do
a Copy of your full table on sheet1 and the paste-special Paste link onto
sheet2, but
before so doing erase all your data off sheet2 (top to bottom) as you are
about to
completely replace it with the newly updated sheet1.

Maybe I assumed perhaps too much here,,,

Jim,

The cut and paste works fine. In fact, that is what I currently do. But I
really wondered whether there was a way (there usually is with Excel) to
automatically move information from one Sheet to another as soon as it was
entered. I may be being to hopeful here!
