I realize my title doesn't really explain what I'm asking as I don't know the correct terminology but bear with me and I'll explain my question.
I know how to link two cells so that if one changes, the other does as well (i.e. cell C3 is linked to cell E5 by selecting cell C3 and entering "=E5"). But how do I link the information in the cell to another cell?
If my worksheet looks like this:
cell B1 - Grapes, cell C1 - 50
cell B2 - Apples, cell C2 - 60
and I link cell F1 to cell C2 with "=C2". If I change the order of cell B1 and cell B2 to become alphabetical then cell F1 is no longer linked to the value in cell C2 (50) but changes to the value that now becomes cell C2 (60). How do I link cell F1 to the actual value (50) in cell C2 even if the order changes.
Help... Thank you!
Not sure if this is an efficient method; if i correctly understood your question then you can use = to link two cells For example:
Sheet one can look like this
A B C D E
1 1 2 3 4 5
2 5 4 3 2 1
3 1 2 3 4 5
Total 7 8 9 10 11
Sheet two requires cell links so you do:
TotalForA =Sheet1!A4 //output will be 7
TotalForB =Sheet1!B4 //output will be 8
.
.
.
In a simple word you can use = sign and click on whatever cell you're like to get.

I can't seem to find anything similar that's already been asked (they all relate to incrementing row numbers rather than columns)
I'm looking to drag a formula across horizontally and have the columns increment by 2
E.g. B1-A1, D1-C1, F1-E1...
Thanks!
You'll need to have a value in cell A1 and B1 for the following to work.
For my testing I put the number 1 in A1 and B1.
Try this in Cell C1:
=IF(MOD(COUNT($A$1:B1),2)=0,COLUMN(B1),IF(B1<>A1,B1,A1))
Here's what you should see when you drag that formula across:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N
1 1 2 2 4 4 6 6 8 8 10 10 12 12
And this is what the formula does:
The MOD(COUNT() part of the formula counts the cells to the left of it, and if they are a multiple of 2, the value changes.
I've left the value to change to (the 'new' value) as the COLUMN() number for the cell before, just for example's sake. but you can change this part.
The last IF statement at the end checks if the cell before is equal to the cell before that, (eg. Is CELL C1 equal to CELL B1) and if they are not equal, it will give the cell before as a value (the 'copy' value).
need help here :) I am not excel expert
I have a simple spread sheet with some data and I need to find the matching values from another sheet. Some help would be appreciated.
The data looks like this:
d1 d2 d3 d4 d5
c1 1 5 4 4 3
c2 2 4 9 1 2
c3 4 4 7 8 4
c4 4 7 1 9 2
c5 4 4 7 6 8
So above c1, c2 etc. means Code's and d1, d2 etc. means Dates (future dates).
The numbers between I need to catch in a different spread sheet
example
Code: c2 - User provides the code
Date: d4 - User provides the date
Value: 1 - this value I need to get with formula
Should I attach example file if needed?
If possible to use performance wise formulas as might be quite few of them. Perhaps INDEX/MATCH? if I know how to use it :) but I think also INDEX/MATCH will slow it down a lot, I might be wrong also :)
thank you for your help in advance.
EDIT:
Added screenshot, might help also what is needed.
Assumptions / prerequisites:
Sheet1 cells (A1:F6) is your data / headers from your example
Sheet2 cell B3 is where the user types the code
Sheet2 cell B4 is where they type the date
Sheet2 cell B5 is where the value displays
this would be your formula in Sheet2 C5
=INDEX(Sheet1!A:F,MATCH(B3,Sheet1!$A:$A,0),MATCH(B4,Sheet1!1:1,0))
I am looking to format some data. To make it more easy I use an example with simple numbers.
Sheet 1 ('S1'):
A1 10
A2 14
A3 23
A4 12
A5 64
A6 32
.... etc
It is a long list(vertical) of 600 values
Now I want in Sheet 2('S2'):
To show it as:
S1!A1 S1!A2 S1!A3 S1!A4 S1!A5 S1!A6
S1!A7 S1!A8 S1!A9 S1!A10 S1!A11 S1!A12
S1!A13 S1!A14 S1!A15 S1!A16 S1!A17 S1!A18
References to the cells in the other sheet.
I have tried to transpose them but I cannot find a modifier to set an amount of columns used. i.e. I would get 1 row with all my data. I want only the first 6 in row, next 6 in next row, next 6... etc.
Thanks for any help/feedback given.
Put this in the upper left cell desired:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A,(ROW(1:1)-1)*6+COLUMN(A:A))
Then copy/drag over 6 columns and down till you finish the list
Sheet1
This is how my data looks like:
C1 C2 C3
1 1 a
2 2 a
3 3 a
4 4 a
7 5 a
8 6 a
9 7 a
10 8 a
9 a
10 b
You see that C1 is a subset of column C2. I want now to extract only the data from C2 - together with the corresponding value from C3 - that matches C1. The extracted data just needs to be copied to another column
Could someone give me a hand?
Assuming your data in C1 starts from A2, do the following:
Type in cell D2 (column C4): =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,$B:$C,1,0),"")
Type in cell E2 (column C5): =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,$B:$C,2,0),"")
Autofill both formulas.
This will give you what you want, missing values will be shown as blanks. If you want concatenate both parts of out - just put the aggregate formula =ISERROR(...)&ISERROR(...) to any column row 2 you like.

I have a Spreadsheet, and inside this sheet contains a column with numbers, I want to make a formula that will go down that Column and do basically this.. Values: 1 will be 9.50. 2 will be 9.75. 3 will be 10.00. Ect going up to Value of 100? Is that possible for a Formula? I keep playing with it but can't really seem to get it down. Any help would be appreciated.
Column A: 1

There is not a set amount to how many values are in there.
this should do it supposing that column A has these values 1, 2 ...etc that your computing will be based on
=MIN(9.25+A1*0.25;100)*COUNT(A1)
In A2, enter the formula
=A1 + (9.5-A1)
then in the cell just below it (A3), enter
=A2+0.25
Assuming A1 is the top left. Copy the formula in A3, select the next 399 cells and paste. Then select A2 - A364 and copy. Then select B2 -xx364 and paste. xx is the last column with data. If you want, set the height of your first column to 0 to hide it.
=(A1-1)*0.25+9.5 where A1 contains any number you want
