Sheet /Column sharing

I have 5 sheets. The first 8 columns on each of the sheets are the same. The balance of the columns of each sheet are different. Is there a way to have the first 8 column interactive regardless of which sheet you are in. So whether you make a change in sheet 1 or 3 (within those 8 column) all 5 sheets in that cell are changed.

    Hello @penny53731

    To get the first 8 columns of 5 sheets interactive, formulas are required. We can choose 1 out of 5 sheets as the main sheet to edit the cells in the first 8 columns, the remaining 4 sheets will refer to the main sheet to pull data through the formulas.

    We can use INDEX(MATCH()) functions to get data.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi @penny53731

    I hope you're well and safe!

    • Do you have anything in the sheet that we could use to match the rows between them?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!
