What I would like to do is swap data from one column to another column or the other way around. Let me try to give an example.
I have a list of containers we use to deliver goods to a customer. As soon as those goods are delivered the container is empty and brought back, so available again. What I would like to do is have the list of containers in use on one side and on the other side a list of empty containers.
In between I want to create two buttons that move the container to the other column ( >> and <<).
I have tried this myself and always failed. Eighter it doesn't work at all or I end up with a lot of blank spaces...
The best picture example I can give you guys is probably this:
thank you all for your help!

Ideally this file will take an Order number and based on certain column aspects feed it into the respective tab. (For Reference we will be taking data from a car repair shop to determine if the car being worked on has been scheduled for drop off, at the shop, or completed and left the shop.
For Example we will have an Order number for every Car we work on, this car will have a Date Started & date Completed. Based on these criteria it will take the Order Number and drop it into the correct Tab and the rest of the data will populate with xlookup (or up for something better to try). So as the life of the product is updated it flows to the appropriate tabs.
Data Tab --> Comprehensive List of all Cars(including cars not scheduled) --> Cars being worked on --> Completed Cars
I figured 90% of this can be solved using xlookup and IF statements but where I get stumped is how do I pull the specific Order Numbers into the respective tabs from the Data tab.
I am aware that I need to create a formula to check if a car has been scheduled for drop off vs it being finish so it doesn't find it's way into the complete tab but that should be easy once I am able to pull Order number's into the file.
Not Necessarily looking for an answer but some topics/videos to point me in the right direction:)
I have tried just pasting the data and xlookup the details from the Order Number but that just brings back the manual aspect of the workbook.
the way i am thinking about this is java terms would be:
If(order # = In Shop)
RO# Populates into "cars being Worked on" Tab
but for each tab
Am I going to need to use VBA/Macro to get the desired result or is there something simpler I am missing?

If you don't want to build a VBA implementation, I'd look into using Power Query. I find Power Query to be a pretty low barrier tool as it has quite an intuitive UI and loads of material on the web.
This implementation would most likely have an input table on one tab and then the other tabs (WIP, Completed, etc.) would be connected to this input table.
I am trying to figure out a way to add data to an existing table, where it can identify a value (like name or ID#) and add in a new piece of data into that row for the individual.
See Pic 1: The person using this guide will click "yes" or "no" if they want to move the person forward. I want to record that yes/no in their database. (Note: each new candidate gets their HR Guide with their name on it. If you are listed on the Short list (see pic 2), you will get a HR Guide created for you. So the name of the tab is unpredictable, which is why things like vlookups or other formulas will not work.)
Here is the image of where I want the input to go. Based on the name matching in column C, I want it to input the Yes/No in Column I
I have no VBA code to share as I have no clue where to start. I have looked around trying to find a solution or something to work off of, but cannot find something that is close enough for me to figure it out (usually that works for me, but not this time...). So any help/direction you can provide would be VERY helpful! Thanks in advance.
I am having a little difficulty uploading information into an Excel from PowerApps.
I created an app with 3 different data sources, 2 of them are SharePoint Lists where the information is uploading without any trouble. The 3rd one, an Excel table, is… not.
I am using the Excel in order to obtain a random name from "Colum1", the logic I found for it is:
Set(varRandom, Last( FirstN ( Filter(TableName, IsBlank(Column2)),1+RoundDown(Rand()*CountRows(TableName),0))).'Column1')
This works, giving a random name although I haven't figured how to take the user itself out of the equation. (Meaning, if I am using the app, I don't want to get my own name randomly selected)
From how it works, I want that when you touch a different button it submits the information that that random name has already been selected by someone, therefore, it can't be picked again. I tried "SubmitForm(FormName)" at first, but I believe I am missing information to tell Excel what to take from the data I am feeding it with and where to send it.
This means just uploading any data into Column3, which starts all blank so everyone can be randomly picked.
I am not a coder, so there's 89% chances I am just writing the functions wrong, but everything else on the app works fine: random selection, navigation between several screens, and the information being submitted to the 2 SharePoint lists.
In short: I need to
Remove the user using the app from the random selection
Uploading any data into the third column so that one name can't be picked twice.
Can anyone assist?
To remove your name from being selected, first you need to let the app know what the name of the user is. You can ask the name of the user and store it in a variable.
Then, if I understand correctly, you write something down on the Column3 when a name is picked to let you know the name was already used and can't be used again. After you know the name of the user, you can write something down right away on the 'Column3' in the row corresponding to the user's name so it can't be picked anymore.
To help you with the Excel we'll need to know where you save your excel file.

This project keeps throwing new and exciting things that I am having a good deal of trouble with.
I am hoping that there is an easy solution but I am starting to suspect it may be a macro problem.
What I have is...a master list of products, 10,000 of them. It is now end of season and we are moving a range of products to a discontinued section.
So what I need to know is how can I delete all the SKU's I need to...and then as an added bonus feature...add the NEW SKU's for this season into the master list.
What I am hoping to do is create something that when we have to do this again in six months...we dont have to enter the data individually and just add a discontinued list...and a new list and it will auto update the main list.
I will have to add SKUS and the data they contain and my only knowledge of this is using Vlookup.
Thanks.
There are a lot of ways to tackle this, but you haven't given enough info to get a specific answer.
For example, if you have that list of discontinued product numbers somewhere, you could easily run a vlookup formula against that data source to the master data source. Then, just sort out the stuff you want and delete it or move it or whatever.
It also begs the question of why you have a 'discontinued' section. I loathe 'sections' in a database. If it's a real DB table, there shouldn't be any breaks anywhere....you'd deal with 'discontinued' versus 'active' with an additional field (column) and mark things as such there.
If the table and the data is organized well, you can easily do these tasks you are talkign about.
I have two lists, each on different tabs (sub-sites) of the site. I would like users enter data on the first tab and somehow copy a portion of that data over to the second list automatically (like a pre-population of several of the fields on the second list). What would be involved in making this happen? Of the ideas I have come up with, none seem too pragmatic.
An item receiver on the first list would allow you to insert data into another list at the time of creation.
Depending on your situation it may be worth trying list look ups (one to many).
