Automation - Copy Specific Cells to another Sheet

GILLL023

Looking for a way to copy specific cell to another sheet. I know how to do a full Row, but in the other sheet we are not looking for ALL of the columns and only certain columns are needed in the other sheet. Is there any option or creative solution for a flow like this?

GOAL: copy the contents of a few cells ex. [Description],[Requestor], [Total] from one sheet to another sheet which has additional columns that are not in the first sheet.

Hi @GILLL023

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 week!
