I'm currently working on a quotation and I have 3 seperate worksheets I'm
working with. Sheet 1 has all the model name, elevation, part description, quantity, cost per piece and total. This worksheet is for internal use only. Sheet 2 has all the products and prices listed. (Probably has no purpose for my question) Now Sheet 3 is where I am trying to pull only certain data from Sheet 1. What I am trying to do is transfer only the columns labeled "model name", "elevation" and "total" Obviously the easy way to do it is to just cut and paste but since we will be continuing to use this worksheet as standard format, we want to stay away from cutting and pasting. Plus the other problem with that is that the column that has the total has a formula which calculates a few of the other columns to give that total therefore cutting and pasting a formala won't work on my 3rd worksheet. Is there a way to have the third worksheet set so that whatever data is entered onto Sheet 1, Sheet 3 will have to same data minus the unwanted columns? I have tried to use the PivotTable function but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I have read up on several resourses about the PivotTable function and was convinced that this is where I am supposed to be but everything I have tried hasn't given me the right table that I am looking for. Anybody's help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance. |

In sheet three click on the cell where you want information from sheet 1,
type = and then click on the cell you want to information from on sheet one and hit enter. This will put a formula referring to the item in sheet 1.

Hi, Jenn;
Easy. On Sheet 3 at the top cell of the column you want to mirror the model names, enter =, select sheet 1, select the cell containing "model name," and click the green check mark in the formula bar. You will be returned to Sheet 3, with that top cell selected, and containing the appropriate formula (it will look something like =Sheet1!A1 in the formula bar, and display "model name" in the cell). Click the lower right corner of that cell, and drag it down to fill the column as far as you want. Repeat for the "elevation" and "total" columns.

IanRoy,
Thank you very much. It worked out perfect. The hard things don't give me trouble to figure out but the simplest things cause me headaches. Thanks again!!!!! Jenn "IanRoy" wrote: Hi, Jenn; Easy.
