Excel cell question
 

What formula can I make or choose to have cell with text in it show up in
another cell automatically? What I'm trying to say is I have a spreadsheet
with a filter on for the data I want to pull. Now in another cell (that is
blank) I want the data that is being filtered to be displayed in the blank
cell (all text Example: Meadowlands). You know when you do auto filter and
select certain data. I just want the blank cell to have the selected data
(just in the cell) from the filter. I don't know if this makes any sense,
but I am going crazy trying to figure this out. Thank you in advance for any
help.

The most basic way of making one cell show the contents of another is simply
to type a formula like this:

=B7
....where B7 contains the data, and the formula is placed in the cell where
you want to mirror B7's contents. I don't use filtering, so I can't say
whether this will work for you, but it's a starting point.

You're welcome! By the way, the Excel help system is pretty good for
learning these things. Press F1 - voila! Sometimes it thinks you want help
with a specific chore, so it takes you to that part of the help system, but
it's easy to get to the very beginning.
