How to pull information automatically in a secondary sheet from a master sheet

Benjamin_Sumitomo

Hi, please I need you help with this. This is driving me crazy

I´m implementing a kanban board for all my company. Nevertheless, this has 2 steps, the first one is information from design department, which is confidential and should not be seen by others.

Since is currently not possible to hide conversation and attachments in SS, Im doing the second way.

I have a master sheet, and a second sheet where I went to pull the information from a column from master sheet, nevertheless, I don´t find any way to to that.

I have tried using formulas, but I cand draw them down since they copy the information from first cell.

What can I do?

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

You can connect the sheets using cross-sheet formulas combined with either a VLOOKUP or an INDEX and MATCH structure. When you update the source sheet, the changes will be reflected in 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.

More info.

Here's the structure for an INDEX/MATCH combination.

=INDEX({ColumnWithTheValueYouWantToShow}, MATCH(CellThatHaveTheValueToMatch@row,{ColumnWithTheValueToMatchAgainsTheCell}, 0)

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic day!
