Consolidating sheets in Excel
Hi all,
I am doing up a spreadsheet of members of a sports club. The thing is though there are many different types of members - Juvenile, Mens playing, ladies playing, social members, family members etc. Is it possible to have separate sheets for each of these member types and then to have one main sheet of all members? Obviously I can copy and paste when a new member is entered into one of the "sub-sheets" but i'm guessing there is a way of setting it up so that all new members entered on one of the member-type sheets automatically enters in the main sheet? Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks in advance, N |

Consolidating sheets in Excel
I would set it up as ONE sheet for all and use
DATAFILTERAUTOFILTERFILTER by type with a code or drop down limiting the type entered in the TYPE On Jan 25, 3:37*am, niallheavey wrote: Hi all, I am doing up a spreadsheet of members of a sports club.

Thanks for your help Don, looking like its my only way of doing things!! |

Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks in advance, N Ok, I suppose it could work but not ideal! Are you saying that doing more than double the work is more ideal? What's your time worth in terms of maximizing your productivity? I'm of the mindset that simple and efficient is 'ideal', and anything else is not! Why do you want separate sheets for each member type? Going your suggested route will require some fairly complex sheet design to make almalgamating all sheets into one an efficient (and problem free) process. Way more work than necessary IMO. I might set it up like that for now but if anyone else has any other ideas please let me know! Thanks for your help Don, looking like its my only way of doing things!! I agree with Don in that a single sheet be used for all since all info fields except 'member type' would otherwise be stored in separate columns. I would use a dropdown in the 'member type' column that includes a Validation list containing all member types so this can be selected during data entry. You could do as Don suggests and use AutoFilter to view/print a list of each member type. If you need to print separate lists by member type it's way easier to do from one sheet. If you're concerned about data entry, I suggest you consider using the Data Form. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc |
