From my research, I'm seeing the only way to link cells between different worksheets is using the sheet's name: =Sheet1!K12
But I want to use the sheet number =Sheet(1)!K12 or something, if that is possible.
My ultimate goal is to replicate a row that exists for Sheet1 for different sheets.

I have an Excel file with three sheets, with data in each sheet organised in the same manner - headers are the same.
Without using VBA (as macros are not allowed by my organisation's security policy), I would like to find all rows from all sheets that meet a simple column value check and show those rows in a separate sheet.
For example:
Sheet2 has,
Sheet3 has,
Sheet4 has,
I want sheet1 to have all rows from sheets 2-4 with Header7 column value = "Hit",
What I have achieved so far is, using an array formula I could get all the "hits" from one sheet in sheet1.
The formula for A2 to A6 in sheet1 is as below, with the ROW(1:1) changing to ROW(2,2) and so on from A3 onwards. Columns B to G use the same formula with range adjusted accordingly.
{=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet4!$A$2:$A$6,SMALL(IF(Sheet4!$G$2:$G$6="Hit",ROW(Sheet4!$A$2:$A$6)),ROW(1:1))-1,1),"")}
What this does is a bit complicated. In short, it creates an array of either FALSE or row numbers based on Hit and then finds the index of the non-false values.
Now, I can solve the last part of combining the idea to include all sheets in two ways (I think).
Have another temporary sheet (sheet5) with all rows from sheets 2 to 4. Update my formula in sheet1 to use sheet5 instead of 4.
Have the range Sheet4!A2:A6 etc changed to include a 3D reference like Sheet2:Sheet4!A2:A6. But this doesn't work, and the documentation for 3D reference doesn't mention that it works with array functions.
PS: I don't have Power Query, which seemed to have an easy way to create a new sheet with all rows from multiple sheets, because I work on a Mac (MS Excel for Mac).
I have no coding experience, just trying to pull together a function within a spreadsheet at work to save everyone a lot of time - would be great if anyone could help me!
So I have an excel workbook, which has multiple columns of values within one sheet, which I would like to copy across to another sheet. But I only want to copy specific columns, dependent on the presence of a value in a different column for each row.
So for example:
Sheet 1
So I'm looking for a way to check for the presence of ANY value (ie just not an empty cell) in column C, and if there is a value present in column C, to then copy the values from columns A and B into a separate sheet in the workbook. I would need it do this check for each row within sheet 1 and copy them all as separate rows into sheet 2.
Is this possible?? Ideally without the use of VBA as I have a feeling adding this in to an already shared workbook may slow it down to the point of not being able to be used?!
Thank you!
Assuming Sheet1 is as follows
Then in Cell A1 of Sheet2 enter the following formula
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!C$1:C$5,SMALL(INDEX(NOT(ISBLANK(Sheet1!$C$1:$C$5))*ROW($C$1:$C$5),0),COUNTBLANK(Sheet1!$C$1:$C$5)+ROW($C1))),"")
Drag/Copy down and across (to right) as required. Change range as per your data. See image for reference.
i have a specific problem to solve. I dont know how to do it but want to do it without macro or worse without VB script.
I will explain what i have and then what i want to do.
I have (plan to have) many sheets in worksheet. first sheet is some intro sheet, where i have also one column containing name of sheets in every cell. i am using formula "=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)" so i can change name of sheet and it will change also name of sheet in intro sheet cell.
so for imagination i have column N and there i have sheet1, under that sheet2 and so on...
Each of sheets have the same construction and same formulas on the same place, so i have each sheet for every goods.
And now what i would like to have. I want to add a formula into intro sheet where i would summarize SUM (add) or something like that. It would take every value form each sheet on the same place on each sheet. so the formula would look something like this: "=sheet1!C4 + sheet2!C4 + sheet3!C4 + .... + 'any sheet'!C4" but i dont know how many sheets i will have and the number will sometimes change and i dont want to edit formula because i plan to have more this kind of dynamic formulas.
i will just add another sheet into column N and every formula using this excel type for cycle would take and recount formula using this dynamic array. i hope you understand what i want. my problem is much more complicated but when i describe it more into detials you would loose the point of my interest.
thanks for any suggestions
edit: but if there is only a solution using VBA script, i will have to use it. i dont want to change formula everytime i add another sheet into worksheet
What you describe is a 3D formula. You can do something like
=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet4!A1)
Excel will sum cell A1 in all sheets from Sheet1 to Sheet4 and any sheets that are between these two. You can insert new sheets and they don't have to be named SheetX.
In order to manage the 3D formulas more efficiently, you could use two sheets like bookends before and after the sheets you want to include in the formula: Insert two sheets called "First" and "Last" and ensure that all sheets you want to sum are arranged between these two sheets. Then on your intro sheet use
=SUM(First:Last!A1)
You can hide the "First" and "Last" sheets and only unhide them when you need to check your sheet arrangements for your formulas.
You can insert new sheets and make sure that they are located between your bookend sheets. Drag sheets in and out between the bookends to include or exclude them from the 3D formula.
I have 5 sheets in my Excel file. Out of these 5, one is the master sheet which has all the data I want to copy to the other 4 sheets.
All the sheets have one common column, ID. The master has more than 10000 IDs.
What I want to do is:
If ID in sheet1 = 24356 = ID in master sheet then copy x, y, z columns from master sheet to sheet1. This is same for all other sheets.
Also, since the master sheet is from other source than the rest of the sheets, its formatting is different. Is there a way to remove all formatting in sheets before running copy/paste?
Can anyone please tell me the VBA code to do this.
This is how my Master sheet looks like:
I want the other sheet (eg sheet1) in this case to look like:
Is it possible to do this without entering a lookup formula in every cell?
If I'm understanding correctly, I don't think you actually need to use a macro for this.
Let's say that your MasterSheet is something like:
and your various sheets have the IDs in column A:
You could put this in B1:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A1,MasterSheet!$A:$D,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($A1,MasterSheet!$A:$D,2,FALSE))
then simply increment the VLOOKUP's return column for each other column:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A1,MasterSheet!$A:$D,**3**,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($A1,MasterSheet!$A:$D,**3**,FALSE))
Result:
You should probably use a better/quicker formula for the lookup to see if the ID exists (like Match)...
Hope this helps.

I am working with 2 sheets in a single spreadsheet and I want to link the items of cells of first sheet to the cells of second sheet so that when I make any change in a cell in one of the sheets the same change should take place in another sheet in its linked cell.
I followed what is being suggested here Linking cells in same Excel spreadsheet but it didn't work. Thank you.
If the sheet you are making changes to is Sheet2, in sheet1 just use something like =Sheet2!A1 and the cell will directly show whatever is in the cell A1 in sheet2, etc.
If both sheets need hard coded values then you'll need to do something more complicated, like an event in VBA.
