Copying data to summary sheet
I have say 12 worksheets for 12 months
each worksheet has say 4 columns "Activity"(in col A), "Start"(in col b), "Finish"(in col c), "Status"(in col d) each worksheet has a definite number of rows for data entry and cant extent beyond these values(ex:A7 to A39 for "activity" similarly b7 to b39 for "start"...) I want to have a summary sheet with the same 4 columns "Activity"(col A), "Start"(col b), "Finish"(col c), "Status"(col d) I have 2 questions 1) whenever a data entry is made in any of the 12 worksheets (between rows 7 to 39 for A, B, C, D colms), the same values should automatically be copied onto the summary sheet. 2) say for example 1st worksheet has a project name "xyz CR", and again to track for next month in 2nd worksheet i enter the same project name "xyz CR". This duplicate should not be entered in the summary sheet. |

Copying data to summary sheet
The simplest answer to your first question is to type an = into the cell on
the summary worksheet where you want the data to appear then click on the second worksheet and click on the source cell. Whatever you type in that cell on the second worksheet will appear on the summary sheet. Copy or replicate other data entry cells for all other data to appear on you summary sheet. This will, however, result in a zero appearing in you summary where no data appears on your source worksheet but can be eliminated by amending the fomula in your summary sheet thus =IF(Sheet2!A1="","",Sheet2!A1) (amend Sheet2 and A1 to suit). Your second question is more complex: If your first worksheet is named "xyz CR" you cannot name a second worksheet in the same workbook with the same name! Can you give more info on your layout of data?

Copying data to summary sheet
I think my question is not clear to you
i am aware of placing = but what i need is there are 12 sheets with stipulated colms and rows adn when i enter data there they should reflect in summary sheet whic will have same columns. If i use = i need to personally do that each time. Hoep i am right for 2nd question you have got me wrong, i was not talking about sheet name, i was telling abuot teh activity description not to be replicated in Summary sheet (ex: if i have enterd in Sheet1 under Activity column in cell A8 as "xyz test",and again in sheet 4 under Activity column in any cell if i type same activity name "xyz test", the summary should not allow writing this as it already exisits.- i need this to work as if project lasts 6 months it wil have entry in each worksheet) TIA "Ron@Buy" wrote: The simplest answer to your first question is to type an = into the cell on the summary worksheet where you want the data to appear then click on the second worksheet and click on the source cell.
