Would Like to Copy a value from one location to another weekly

Christopher Neal

Hello!

I have 2 sheets SHEETA and SHEETB.

SHEETA has a ton of data in it and I want to take a value from one cell inside or the sheet summary it and copy it weekly to another sheet.

I know I can copy rows but that is not an option for me.

Is there another method I could utilize to automate this?

Hi @Christopher Neal

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.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Why is Copy Row not an option?

The rows contain a lot of other information not relevant to the data I need.

The rows are individual items and I need to copy a summary count of all of the items.

Also the rows are being moved to another sheet through another workflow process.

So I could take a formula and use that to count all of the items I need in SHEETC then setup the sheet to copy the value periodically over to SHEETB.

OK I think I am getting it now, thanks.
