    Question Multi Tab Auto Data

    I created a multi tab spreadsheet to keep track of important data.
    on tab B I manually enter all info for each item.
    As items get used Tab A Column J i manually enter serial number but i dont want manually enter all data again.

    basically what i want is

    (Tab A Column H) If Tab A Column Same Row = 00000000 (8 numbers), Search =+TabB! Determine Column and Row for that serial number (Value) and say after searching it discovers that Tab B V23 is the column and row that. i want -Column but keep row and enter value into box.

    Please attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    Re: Multi Tab Auto Data

    The info is not sensitive as its just serial numbers for pipe which no one could do anything with but thanks for warning me.

    18 Wheelers deliver pipe and each one has a serial number. on the Trucks tab I log down the Serial, Heat Number, Footage, and I create a 4 digit joint number. 1st 2 digits represents the truck number, while the 2nd 2 numbers represent the pipe off that truck. 25 is the most that get delivered on each truck so 0413 means the 4th truck and 13th pipe offloaded.

    later these pipe get welded together and need keep track of where they end up. on the Weld Map tab I enter the serial number and I want the length, heat number, joint number to auto enter from Trucks tab.

    Re: Multi Tab Auto Data

    mike7952 thanks very much. Had to save file as macro enabled, but afterwards works like a charm. I have one more request that would make this perfect.

    once I enter the serial on the weld map tab, it will enter the rest of the data in the weld map tab thanks too you. I would also like that data to get highlighted on the trucks tab that way I can see what got used. Any pipe not highlighted would let me know what hasn't been used yet.

    Cool Re: Multi Tab Auto Data

    yes that did exactly what I wanted. I ran into one problem I would like fixed before I mark as solved.

    On the Weld Map tab, lets say I enter the serial on the wrong row and I delete it.
    it will not delete all the info it added and will not undo highlight on the trucks tab.
    while I can easily delete the columns as I deleting the serial, its not as easy to try figure out what to undo highlight on the trucks tab.

    Re: Multi Tab Auto Data

    Only thing that comes to me right now is to create a macro with an InputBox to select the cell or cells that you have entered the wrong serial number for. I would add a button to the sheet and link the button to this macro. See attached workbook. Click the button In cell H5. Inputbox will prompt to select cells you want to clear. Select cell or cells in Column H and click okay. Code will clear the values on the Weld Map sheet and also un-highlight the cells on Truck Sheet.
