connecting sheets

I have a main sheet that i need certain information to pull into a separate sheet so that i have the locations and some specific information. That way i can still tie other sheet columns to locations but i do not have to make sure i have every new location every time in the second sheet.

    Hi @Please help

    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'd 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 think you need in the Destination sheet.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
