Have list of projects in sheet. Want to create a schedule sheet where each project has a row.

The Schedule sheet has dependencies enabled. If that matters. Can I put a formula in the schedule sheet which will add a corresponding record to the Projects Sheet.

So Projects has:

Project1
Project2
Project3

So I want Schedule to have:

Project1
Project2
Project3

And if I add Project4 added to Projects, I want that record to appear in Schedules. Is this possible?

Hi @James Keuning

I hope you're well and safe!

You could maybe use a copy row workflow to copy the row to the schedule sheet, or you could maybe 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. (the cross-sheet method won't work with dependencies if you need the dates to come over as well)

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

The issue I have is that the Project sheet has A LOT of columns. Is there a way to only move/copy select columns, as opposed to everything?

I know it's not the end of the world, that I can just hide columns, but if this is a solution that works, I have other applications for it, and I hate the idea of so many sheets having a bunch of hidden columns.

Yes.

In short, copy the row to a helper sheet and then use cross-sheet formulas combined with either a VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH structure 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?
