Formula Query

Options

Hello,

I want to feed a sheet automatically as we could do on Google sheet with the Query function. Is this possible with formulas?

for example I want to highlight a whole column from sheet 1 in a new sheet 2 based on a criteria from sheet 1

Cordialy,

    Hi @azerty64

    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.

    Another option would be to use so-called helper sheets. In short, copy the row to a helper sheet and then use my method described previously to get the values you need to another helper sheet and then copy/move the row from that sheet to the main 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 any of those options work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
