    Hi @Afolakemi Jedidiah

    I hope you're well and safe!

    You could use cross-sheet formulas combined with either a VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH structure to connect the sheets, and when you update the source sheet, it will reflect on the destination sheet.

    To connect them row by row, you could use an Autonumber Column in the Source sheet and add a so-called helper column to manually add the row id on as many rows as you need in the Destination sheet.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

  • Hello ,

    The Vlookup did not work as I have to make reference to a cell in the plain sheet which I do not have. The Index / Match I am not sure that works as well. As it needs a reference within the current sheet.
