    Pasting values into one cell and having data formatted on another worksheet

    Hello,
    I'm not sure I'm in the right forum, but I've seen spreadsheets in the past where the user pastes lots of data into one cell and it auto-formats the detail on another tab. I have a report I run daily, and every time I get the document I hide a bunch of rows and columns that aren't needed. I know there's a way I can set up a new excel doc and I could paste all the data into a cell and it'll auto format for me. I don't know where to start because I don't know what this is even called. Can someone help point me in the right direction?

    Re: Pasting values into one cell and having data formatted on another worksheet

    Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook?

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).


    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

    Sure, here you go. Tab 1 (Report as is) is the raw data as it comes in. Tab 2 (Clean report) is how I like to see the info as it's all I need.

    Using a pivot table may save you some time, if it is acceptable.
    Once the Row Labels fields have been placed:
    1) From the design tab > report layout choose the tabular form
    2) Turn subtotals and grand totals off,
    3) For the Scheduled Offering ID set the field settings > layout & print to repeat item labels,
    4) From the options tab > pivot table pane > options > display tab > unselect show expand/collapse buttons
    The registration count uses: =COUNTIFS(F4:F200,"<>",F4:F200,"<>"&"(blank)")
    Let us know if you have any questions.
