Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    I have a spreadsheet with 563 sheets. On Sheet 1 (blank), Column B2, I'd like to pull data from Sheet 2, cell C10. I'd actually like to pull all of the data from each Sheet's C10 cell into the respective row on Sheet 1, i.e.:

    Sheet2,C10
    Sheet3,C10
    Sheet4,C10
    ...
    Sheet 563,C10

    I've learned from this Board (other postings) that I can use the following formula, however, it's not allowing me to easily "drop & copy the cell's formula" (using the + in the lower right corner & dragging down the cell's formula to the cell below).

    =INDIRECT("Sheet" & ROWS($2:1) & "!C10")

    Please keep in mind that while I understand what the cells pull in, I don't fully understand why, so I'm pasting the cell formula so that you have an idea of where I can start. I tried the response that said to insert an apostrophe in place of the Sheet name, but that didn't work for me.

    THANKS in advance for any help that you can provide!!!

    Re: Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    So you want to list the name of the sheet and the value of C10 in each cell, instead of just the Value?

    Something like this?
    ="Sheet "&ROWS(2:$2)&" "&INDIRECT("Sheet" & ROWS(2:$2) & "!C10")

    Re: Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    No, I prefer to have the Value instead of the Sheet name. I was just trying to illustrate how I'd like for the values to go down, pulling from Sheet names (across a Workbook).

    Thanks!

    Re: Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    Sorry I guess I'm a little confused, the formula you provided will pull back the value of the Sheet whos number matches the value in which the formula sits on.

    or, if that formula is on row 30, you will see C10 on Sheet30

    Were you looking for another way to pull the data?

    If you want to start putting the formula at Row 30, but want Sheet1's value in Row 30 (instead of Sheet 30), use the below
    =INDIRECT("Sheet"&ROW()-ROWS(1:9)+1&"!C10") will do the same thing, just change the red 9 to whatever row you are starting on


    ?

    Re: Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    That's the right way to pull the data, I'm just not able to copy the formula down in order to pull each of the rows' Values for 563 rows. If I copy the formula as-is above it just copies the same cell value all the way down the column. Obviously the cell Value will change from sheet-to-sheet.

    Does this help?

    Here's the text from the original posting that I tried to copy. Omar had the same problem but didn't have any problems getting his formula to work.

    ****************
    Can anybody teach me how to copy data from multiple worksheets, to a new worksheet? I need the same cell from each worksheet. For example, i have 300 worksheets, i need to copy each data value in each b4 cell from each sheet onto the 301st worksheet, and have each data value one after the other in the format of a column.

    is this possible??

    ***************

    Thanks for your patience!

    Re: Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    Ok.

    I am going to assume the problem is in the Copy. Are you copy/pasting the formula into each cell individually?

    If so, you pasting it into the first cell you wish to see data in, hit Enter, then Select the cell. It will get a black border with a small black square in the Bottom Right corner of that border. Put your mouse on this little square and it will turn into a +. Left-Click and drag down as many rows as you need.

    Let me know if this helps.

    Note: my formula works both ways, (just make sure you adjust the start row number)

    Re: Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    No, I'm not copying individually. In the original post I mentioned the + sign/copy method.

    I'll just do it manually. Thanks anyway.

    My alternative formula didn't work either?

    I'm confused

    Press F9?

    Re: Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    Thanks, Speshul. I don't know how else to explain it. Sorry. The alternate formula didn't work. When I copy up or down it just copies the same data from each Sheet1,B1, Sheet1,B2, etc.

    I need Sheet1,B1 to reflect Sheet2,C10, Sheet1,B2 to reflect Sheet3,C10 and so on...

    Re: Copying data from Muliple Sheets (Same Cell) to a new Sheet (Column)

    Hit the Calculate Now button on the far Right of the Formulas tab (or select the sheet and hit F9)

    If that works, make sure Automatic Calculation is enabled in the Calculation Options

    Could you upload a sample of the spreadsheet so I can play with it? Remove any company sensitive information. I would recommend making a mock one with only 5-6 sheets, 563 might be a little large for upload
