Cell linking from one cell to a column on a different sheet?

Is there a formula that updates sheet 2's column when I enter data on sheet 1's row?

ex) If a daily update starts on sheet 1 when the data is entered/attachment is attached, can a date automatically enter on sheet 2's date column? Sheet 2 is a running sheet so the date that I want automatically entered would be put once in the column's corresponding cell

sorry if I am in the wrong part of the discussions.

I hope my English made sense and thank y'all in advance 🙂

    Hi @Chinaflor

    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.

    To connect them row by row, you'd 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 think you need in the Destination sheet.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
