I've got a spreadsheet containing several sheets and want to put all values from column A from each sheet into a single column on another sheet.
Is this possible?
Alternatively is there an easy way to "flatten" the data for export (each sheet has the same column structure)?
If I were you I would open up the macro recorder and then record your manual actions in doing what you want in VBA. The code will be quite simple to understand and then you will be able to edit it as you wish. VBA macros are ideal for this type of mundane data manipulation within a spreadsheet.
I think you need the VLOOKUP function, but I'm not clear on exactly what you want to do; do you want the new column to contain all the values from column A of sheet 1 followed by all the values from column A of sheet 2, then all values from column A of sheet 3 and so on, or do you want the new sheet to contain the sum (or means, or concatenation) of each of the column As from several other sheets?
You can put this command on the sheet where you want to paste all columns
=CONCATENATE(Sheet1!A1,Sheet2!A1)
The above command is only for extract data from two sheets, however you can add more i.e. Sheet3!A1....

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 two excel sheets with the similar header columns and dataset is similar however some times there are some miss-match with their values which I would like to compare with excel formulas or lookup or built in tool. Please advise
On Sheet1 you can place in column D (example is for row 2 to highlight the row with a mismatch) the following formula:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(Sheet1!A2,Sheet2!A:C,3,FALSE)=Sheet1!C2,FALSE)
This will output TRUE or FALSE depending if the email matches for the unique id. You can adapt using this either for a more complex formula or for conditional formatting.
If you are just looking to compare two spreadsheets, Windows comes with a function called Spreadsheet Compare. Just do a search in the task bar and it should come up. It is great if you are looking to compare two separate workbooks. If they are in the same workbook you can copy one into a new workbook then compare them. It will show every discrepancy.
I have a sheet with 6 different tables (and then multiple sheets (20 copies) that are similar but under different names). The tables are long (columns B to Az).
I want to put a link in each table that will jump to column W. I am trying to avoid make 6 different cell references hyperlinks on each sheet. Is there a way to get this down besides the manual hyperlinking each one of those?
This sheet is going to be used on Excel Online, so cannot use any VBA. (If I have to run a VBA code to make it happen then remove the VBA that works, but end product wont support any VBA)
I am not sure what you mean with "without specifying a row" - but jumping to a column without naming the sheet can be done with the HYPERLINK formula
Just insert into a cell
=HYPERLINK("#W1","Click here to jump to W1")
You can then paste this formula to all sheets
But i think you would need to name the range you want to jump to. It would also be possible to select the whole column
=HYPERLINK("#W:W","Click here to jump to W")
And of course, dynamic links are also possible and can be very useful - jump to the first empty row of a given sheet, for example.
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'd like to know if it is possible to link two sheets so that if I add a row in one sheet it autmatically gets added to the second sheet.
Thanks.
Not exactly -- I'm pretty sure you can't link an entire sheet. But you could use formulas with cell references, e.g. =Sheet2!B2 refers to cell B2 from Sheet2.
You could also try the vlookup() formula function. If you have a table defined somewhere in the workbook, you can use this function to return the value from one column of the table based on the supplied value from another column in the table.
You can "Group" sheets together by holding down CTRL and selecting the tabs of the sheets to be grouped. Adding and deleting rows and columns would result in the same treatment over all the selected sheets. But this is temporary and is lost as soon as another sheet is selected or the file is closed.
For a longer term entanglement, you would need VBA code.
