Need to sort data and auto copy sorted data to new worksheet while maintaining WS1
Rookie excel user. Cannot find directions for what I want to do.
I have an excel WS1 set up as DB; I want to keep this sheet for data revision.
WS2,3, 4, & 5 will be data that is filtered and sorted, using WS1 as source so I want to auto copy the WS1 data.
Can I just auto copy WS1 (how do I do that?) then filter and sort in each WS?
Thanks for helping a beginner.
In A1 of WS2 hit = and then go to A1 of WS1. Hit enter.
Now drag that formula over and down as far as needed. Then delete the cells you don't need and organize as you please and the data will still be automatically linked.
Another way you could do it would be to apply RANK()+COUNTIF()-1 to each row of your data source, and then use INDEX(..MATCH( to pull it to the other pages in pre-sorted order.
If you attach a data sample, I'll gladly take a look for you.
Thank you daffodil11!!
I like the =, Enter combination and it did exactly what I was looking for.
