So I have an excel with multiple tabs/sheets each representing a month, so i.e. August 2011, September 2011 etc.
On each sheet I have some data figures, and one important figure which is in Table column "D5" on every sheet.
What I am trying to do is create a new tab/sheet called summary, on and on this sheet have a column chart which represents this "D5" figure for each month.
How can I write the data range in excel for chart to get this figure on all sheets ?
You could do this in two steps:
In a new worksheet: a) in column A (say, starting with cell A1) list the names of the monthly worksheets (so, with August 2011 in cell A1, September 2011 in cell A2, and so on), b) in the first row of column B (say, cell B1), enter the formula `=INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!D5"), and, c) copy the formula from cell B1 down to the other rows in column B.
Create a chart based on columns A and B in the new worksheet.
Use 'named ranges' to name each cell in a simple format.
Name Cell D5 on each sheet:
'January 2011'!D5 = IMPORTANT_JAN_2011
'February 2011'!D5 = IMPORTANT_FEB_2011
etc.
Then on the summary enter the following as the formula in the range(s) you want the data, for example
=IMPORTANT_JAN_2011
=IMPORTANT_FEB_2011

I have 2 sheets in an Excel workbook.
The first one contains a data table named "details", regarding details of students. The second sheet contains several formulated cells with Vlookup formula which looks for vlaues in the first sheet.
How can I auto fill all the Vlookup cells in sheet 2, for a row from sheet 1, just by clicking on any cell of name column or order column from the first sheet?
E.g. my first sheet has these columns
order
student name
DOB

I want to auto fill formulated (Vlookup) cells of the sheet 2, either by clicking "Joseph" or in the order column on "number 1".
I have 2 excel sheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2).
In sheet1 I have a table, I want to modify the table regarding to the second sheet as shown in the image such that the column in table of sheet1 (column called needed) looksup values in sheet2 and if id(1) is found in colmn of id in sheet2 then the cell of this id should get the value that corresponds to the same id in sheet 2.
That is what I basically want, but I can't figure out how to do that in excel
On Sheet1 in cell D2 enter the following formula:
=VLOOKUP(A2;Sheet2!$A$2:$D$5;4;FALSE)
Note that you might need to change the semicolons ; to regular commas , depending on your version of Excel. Then just copy that cell down the entire column of the table.
I have sheet A which is a big table with data referring to January and sheet B which extrapolate data from sheet A and in cell formulas there is the link to that sheet. Now I'd like to duplicate sheet A and sheet B naming them: A2 and B2 and formulas in B2 refer automatically to A2 data. is it possible or I have to change manually the reference to the new sheet?
thanks

Hello,
Trying to copy a row of data from a roster on a sheet into a new sheet when a cell states Line 1
ie When i type Line 1 etc i want excel to automatically take the row of data for Line 1 on my data sheet and insert it into the target row, cannot use VBA
Appreciate help, i am a beginner
If your data is in A1 to E2 in Sheet1 and your formula in Sheet2:
=IF(Sheet2!A2="","",INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$2,Sheet2!A2,COLUMN(Sheet2!B2)-1))
Now type into cell A2 in Sheet2 the row you want the data from in Sheet1. Drag the formula to the right or down by clicking on the lower right corner.
I want to copy some data from one cell in worksheet 1 to another cell in worksheet 2 if it meets some condition.
So I am using:
=IF(Sheet3!C49=0,"",Sheet3!C49)
where If cell C49 in sheet 3 has something in it then copy whatever is in cell C49 in sheet 3 into the cell that contains this formula.
This works perfectly for text but when I enter a date of 31/07/2009 in cell C49 then the cell with the above formula says 40025 (all dates give odd numbers). The whole of column C has dates in it.
When I enter an integer in cell C49 in sheet 3 (eg. 12), then cell C49 in sheet 3 says "12/01/1900" but the cell in the other worksheet which contains the above formula says 12.
What I want to do is copy the date from cell C49, sheet 3, into the cell with the above formula.
Can anyone help?
Have you tried formatting the column containing the funny number as Date? The funny number is Excel's serial representation of the date.
Alternatively if you just want the date as text you could use the function =TEXT(A1,"yyyyMMdd") etc...
If you wish to copy both the values and the formatting then you'll probably want to knock up a VBA macro.
