Inserting new employees
[size="6"]I was wondering if there is a formula I can use to make the excel spreadsheet recognize when there is a new employee on the last worksheet to automatically add it to the first worksheet with there name, DOB, etc. etc. I would REALLY appreciate the help on this.[/SIZ:) E] -- Anahous ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anahous's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33963 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=537368 |

Inserting new employees
Hi Anahous,
Just by way of an example... Say I wanted the data I enter into Sheet3 to automatically also appear in the corresponding cell on Sheet1. Then I would use the following formula in A1 on Sheet1... =IF(Sheet3!A1="","",Sheet3!A1) Then I would fill this formula across the required number of columns and down enough rows so that it will accept the increasing data being entered on Sheet1. The formula of course can be started off in any cell on Sheet1 so that, for example, if you started it in C10 on Sheet1 then that cell will automatically display the contents of Sheet3!A1. You do have to be careful with the way you manipulate the data on the sheet that it is originally entered on (Sheet3 in this example) so that you don't end up with #Ref! error appearing on the duplicate sheet (Sheet1 in this example). Avoid things such as copy and paste (unless it's Paste Special: Values), cell dragging and dropping, deleting cells (Clear their contents then sort instead). #Ref! problems are usually solved by selecting the top row with the formulas then filling down as far as needed (unless, of course, a #Ref! appears in the top row, then you need top fill up from row 2 first) Ken Johnson |
