Retrieve Date from a Report to a different Grid Sheet

Mashael

Hello everyone

I have a report view that reads from sheets A, B, C

I want this report view to copy the data to grid sheet called D

Is this possible?

thanks a lot !!

You cannot use a report to feed a sheet. You would need to use formulas on sheet D with cross sheet references to each of the other sheets to pull that data in.

Hi @Mashael

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 that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

You would need to have unique IDs on every row. Then you can use something along the lines of

=IFERROR(IFERROR(IFERROR(INDEX({Sheet A Column To Pull}, MATCH([Unique ID]@row, {Sheet A Unique ID}, 0)), INDEX({Sheet B Column To Pull}, MATCH([Unique ID]@row, {Sheet B Unique ID}, 0))), INDEX({Sheet C Column To Pull}, MATCH([Unique ID]@row, {Sheet C Unique ID}, 0))), "")

You can set up a copy row automation on sheets A-C to automatically copy rows based on a trigger.

Thank you for your input sir!

Can you tell me what formula I can use to retrieve data from sheets A, B, and C into sheet D?

And if new rows are added, can you copy them into sheet D without copying and pasting manually?

Thank you a lot
