    Help with building workbook

    Hey guys, looking for a little help here and I know just enough about Excel to think this is possible, but no clue how to build it.

    I want to build a master budgetary workbook that will include all the Purchase orders for an upcoming film as seperate sheets. Each sheet will link all info to a master database sheet, which will allow us to keep a strong eye on our budget. Doesn't seem too difficult yet, but I will have over 150 POs and I'd like to figure out a way to automate the process so as soon as I start a new sheet, it is added into my master.

    I know the long way of linking cells across sheets, but that seems very time consuming and I'm sure that.

    I will also need to be able to sort and total things by budget code, sometimes with more than one budget code per PO.

    I'm a quick learner, have the basic sheets created, just need a little help pushing in the right direction towards the functions that would work best.

    My skill level right now peters out pretty soon past the autosum function.

    Thanks!

    Hello & Welcome to the Board,

    Well my two cents. You are making this a little tougher than it should be.

    I would keep all of my data on one master sheet and if you want to look at a specific PO, then filter.

    If you want to make quick calculations on certain items then look into a pivot table.

    The creating of all these extra sheets makes up keep that much harder.

    Another option is to create your individual sheets and then use some code on the main sheet which when entered on the main sheet will automatically transfer to the individual sheets.

    Here is an example
