to view a column text in another column
The simplest way:
in cell D1 enter =A1 and copy D1 down as far as desired. This will make column D the same as Col A. Since you mentioned text, it may be that you only want Col D to equal Col A if Col A has text. If so, in D1 enter =If(IsText(A1),A1,""). Again copy down col D This will leave Col D blank in A is numeric, an error or blank If you want a vba solution, let us know "Pete" wrote: Hi I have 5 columns is a spreadsheet what I want to be able to do is if in column A I enter any text the I want column D to be automatically up dated to show the same text as column A.
