    Copy cell content from one sheet to another cell in a different sheet

    Hi,

    I am trying to copy a content of a cell located from one sheet to another sheet.

    And the only way I know is to enter the = sign on each cell then go to another sheet on the specific cell I need the data to show then hit enter, which is time consuming as I have a number of cells to reference. Dragging the cell down will only copy all the cells and the series of rows which I still need to change the number of rows to achieve it and again it is very manual.

    I wonder if there is a way where I can reference a range of cells coming from column and show it in a row?

    Please see attached image of what I was trying to achieve.

    Jan is located from Jan Sheet, Feb is located on February Sheet and Summary is located on Summary sheet.

    I hope it makes sense.

    Thank you in advance.

    If the answer isn't what you want, try to make a better example.

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =TRANSPOSE(INDIRECT(E4&"!B3:D3"))

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for all the help. It is greatly appreciated.

    @AliGW it is working but I still have a lot to change to get the result.

    @DJunqueira yours look great, but I can't get it to work and it gives me an error of either reference error or spill error. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

    Thank you.

    For the help to work properly it is like a dance, you need to provide us with a good feedback, I also don't know why it is not working.

    As you have marked this as SOLVED, I presume you don't want any help to refine it.

    If you do, then you are going to need to explain this:
    but I still have a lot to change to get the result.
    Provide an updated workbook and annotate it to clarify what you mean and EXACTLY what you want.

    Thanks for your reply everyone.

    @AliGW the formula is working very well except that I still need to change a lot sheet reference which I can only assume is the only way. I do copy pasting of the formula on each column and change the reference which is a lot less than my previous steps. Unlike what DJunqueira's approach to the formula which would be ideal as there is less changing of the reference by months.

    @DJunqueiraI will keep on trying to find where and why there is an error. If needed, I will re-post.

    I appreciate all your help. Thank you.

    Re: Copy cell content from one sheet to another cell in a different sheet

    In E5 copied across:

    =TRANSPOSE(FILTER(INDIRECT("'"&E$4&"'!B3:D13"),INDIRECT("'"&E$4&"'!A3:A13")=$C5))

    Is this what you want? If the sample workbook is accurate, it should address the issue of the different months.
