How to populate data automatically in excel - excel

I have three excel sheets one with store codes, one with item codes. I want the third sheet to populate data such that there are two columns one column containing store codes another with item codes and there has to be each item associated with each store. I would also need the sheet to update itself as and when I add or remove data from, the store list. Is there a way to do so?

How do I lock an additional column to rows imported from Power Query in Excel 2016 without a unique key column?

I am using Power Query in Excel 2016 to combine data from 12 different workbooks within the same folder system into one table, and need to add an additional column in the master table that tracks the status of each row. However, when I refresh the data, the Status column does not follow the rows to which it is initially applied.
I have already looked at [ Inserting text manually in a custom column and should be visible on refresh of the report ] but this solution only works with a unique ID column. Because each of the 12 workbooks is edited separately and because there is no single column that can be guaranteed to have unique values between all of the different spreadsheets, I don't have a key to join the data to the additional column.
I believe there is always a way of finding a Unique ID. If you can get your head around this, it is not that difficult to solve your problem.
See my below example, I used three sample workbooks saved in a Test folder. Depends on the way you add them to the query editor, in my example I used From Folder and follow the prompts without making any changes and combined the tables automatically. Once combined there is a Source.Name column automatically added. I suggest to leave this column in your output table as it can form part of the Unique ID if your data is highly identical across the workbooks.
An optional step (not in my screenshot) is to add an Index column and concatenate the index number with a product/task name so it can make that specific line of data entry even more unique.
Once you added the Status column with data entered manually on the master table, load the master table back to query editor.
Then go back to the original query (Test (Input) in my example) and merge it with the reloaded output query. See my screen-shot for how to 'uniquely' merge the two tables.
The rest is self-explanatory. I think the key is finding elements of the Unique ID and incorporate it in the merge part.
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers :)

VBA Help to Copy Worksheet from Excel into Word

I am creating a service contract for a client. The document has an Appendix that is a table that changes depending on the product. All of the Appendix tables are in Excel, and I have created an INDEX MATCH function to return the name of a Named Range according to the product chosen, and now I need Excel to actually display that range.
This is my function:
=INDEX(References,MATCH(A2,Reference!A2:A30,0),MATCH(B2,Reference!B1:D1,0))
It returns a Named Range because that's the data I have in the table:
"References", but I want it to display the table and not just its name.
My ultimate goal is to have Word display the correct table depending on choices selected in form fields within the contract. Basically, I want to automate copying the correct table from Excel into Word. It needs to keep its original formatting. Pasting as an object or image is acceptable.

List the names of sheets which have a specific string

I have an Excel workbook that contains multiple sheets. On each sheet, Column A lists all the assets related to that sheet. I want to do two things:
Create one sheet which has a list of all the assets captured from each individual sheet and remove any duplicate(s); and
Develop a process/macro to get a list of all sheet names where a particular asset shows up.
For example, if I select a particular Asset (e.g. abc), I should get a list of all the sheets of which this asset is a part.

Excel : Selecting data and keeping it up to date

Ugh,
I'm not a hero when it comes to Excel...
I have an Excel file with one sheet that contains all data. It's basically a list of tickets, displaying the ticket ID, type, value and 5 dates per row.
I'm looking for a way to have new sheets in the Excel that actually display only tickets of a specific type. So on the sheet Bug Tickets I want to diplay like a filtered sub-set of the raw data in the first sheet.
However, this new sheet needs to refresh it's data automatically when I add new data to the main list.
Is this possible in Excel?
Ok here is a way using a Pivot Tables and Tables.
You should set it up like below: (in the SS, I put the pivot in the same sheet but you can put it in another).
Steps:
You need to create a table out of your data. See here on how to do it.
Then create a Pivot Table out of your table. See here on how to do it
After that you just need to format it the way you want.
The Pivot table will update everytime you add data on your table.
It will display what you've filtered.(in my example I filtered type A).
Notice: Apologies I cannot create a step by step procedure for you(very tedious). I wouldn't have posted this as answer if only it would fit as comment.
