I have a workbook with 2 spreadsheets I'd like to tie together. The first
sheet has several columns, one consisting of vendor names, and others with
amount of invoice, invoice #, etc. I'd like to be able to consolidate only
the rows that have an invoice amount inputted (along with other data, such as
vendor name and invoice number, etc.) onto the other sheet. I'd also like
the data to show up sorted in by vendor name on the second sheet.

Is this something that can possibly be done?

Please help! Thanks in advance.

Here's one simple play which delivers the core functionality of
auto-extracting only the lines with invoice amounts over to another sheet ..

Illustrated in this sample construct:
http://www.savefile.com/files/1017890
Extract only rows with invoice amt.xls

Assume source data is in a sheet: x,
cols A to C, data from row2 down,
with key col = col C (Invoice Amt)

In another sheet: y (say)

In A2: =IF(x!C2="","",ROW())
Leave A1 blank

In B2:
=IF(ROWS($1:1)COUNT($A:$A),"",INDEX(x!A:A,SMALL($ A:$A,ROWS($1:1))))
Copy B2 to D2. Select A2:D2, fill down to cover the max expected extent of
data in x. Hide away col A. Cols B to D will return only the lines from x
where InvAmt (Invoice Amount col) contains an input (ie not empty), all
neatly bunched at the top.

To sort by vendor name, just do a simple copy n paste special as values of
the extract elsewhere, then do a datasort by vendor name
