Master spread sheet to manage then show info on seperate tabs
 

I have a master spread sheet - info grouped under various managers who are
responsible. I want to maintain the master spread which then shows on
indiviual tabs grouped by the above managers

playing around with the following formula biut not sure if its the best
thing to be using.


=IF($A2="","",VLOOKUP($A2,ALL_CONTRACTS!$A:$B,2,FA LSE))

Master spread sheet to manage then show info on seperate tabs
 

Pete,

You are much better off using filters to show the just data that you are interested in. Then the
data is always properly updated, there isn't a computational overhead, and it keeps your life
simple.

If you really need to have separate worksheets, I have a macro that will export data from a database
to separate sheets based on a key value. Let me know if you want to go that way, and I will post
it.

HTH,
