    IFERROR from multiple tables/sheets - Follow up to my old post

    Hi,

    I posted a question that was answered by awesome /u/nflsales. Forum thread here: http://goo.gl/rNz306

    The problem was: So the general idea is I want to make some sort of a template for purchase orders(or invoices/or even quotes) where a list(report?) will be generated that will ONLY show the relevant products. What I want to work out is to have all my items listed in the first worksheet. I want the list/report in worksheet 2 to work so that I only need to write how much of an item I need in worksheet 1 and that will show on worksheet 2.

    This was answered by /u/nflsales with:

    =IFERROR(INDEX('Products List'!A:A,SMALL(INDEX(('Products List'!$A$2:$A$100="")*10^10+ROW('Products List'!$A$2:$A$100),0),ROW($A1))),"")

    which worked amazingly!

    Now I have a follow up question.

    What if I have my products across multiple tables - like the attached file, how would you approach the problem? Let's say I have a LOT of products and have them divided into categories across multiple tables in a sheet so I don't need to scroll so much for an item.

    Thanks in advanced!

    Don't try to make it more complicated, instead just let the data go down. That is the best option from my point of view

    Agree with Six. Excel works best with 2-dimensional tables. keep your data tables as simple as possibe, and any summaries/analysis you need to do, will also be simplified
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
