Link variable data from one worksheet to another worksheet?
I am trying to link variable data from one worksheet (my source worksheet) to
several other worksheets. For example, my source worksheet has two variables or columns: 'Team' and 'Bye Week'. The first entry under the 'team' column reads 'NE'. Let's say for this example that the first entry under the 'Bye Week' column is the number '10'. Given this, I want every entry under the 'Team' column in other worksheets that read 'NE', to read the number '10' under the 'Bye Week' column. Let's also say that one of the entries under the 'Team' column reads 'BAL'. For every entry in the 'Team' column that reads 'BAL' in other worksheets, I want the entry in the 'Bye Week' column to read the number '5'. So on and so forth. To summarize, I need to link each piece of data in column "A" ('Team') to it's corresponding piece of data in column "B" ('Bye Week') across other worksheets. I hope my explanation is not too confusing. It might sound like a trivial problem, but I haven't worked with Excel in this manner before and this would make my life so much easier for years to come. Thank you in advance for your input and help. I am using Microsoft Office 2003. --Ty |

One way is via INDEX/MATCH
Assume your source sheet is named simply as: x with data in cols A and B, from row2 down, "Team" in col A, "Bye Week" in col B In your other sheets, if you have "Team" listed in col A, data from row2 down (with data not necessarily in the same order as that in the source sheet) then you could place this in B2: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,x!A:A,0)),"",INDEX(x!B:B,MATCH(A 2,x!A:A,0))) Copy B2 down as far as required to return the corresponding "Bye Week" figures from the source sheet: x -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "T MAT" wrote: I am trying to link variable data from one worksheet (my source worksheet) to several other worksheets.

Thanks for your reply. I am a little slow at following computer instructions
like this, but I think you are describing exactly what I need. I am going to give it a try and get back to you.
