Auto filtering to another sheet

I have a grid sheet with a form for a training sign off(UTV). I'd like to take the date "Date" and name "Name" of the person who filled out the form and move/copy just these two columns to a new sheet. The new sheet has columns that are different than the previous sheet, in that the date I moved from the UTV sign off sheet, I'd like to fit under the column "UTV" rather than "Date"

    Hi @Rachel Rudd

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

    Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

    Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

    • 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.
    • Copy the row to the other sheet and then hide the columns that aren't needed.
    • 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.


    Would any of those options work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
