Wanting to copy cells if condition is met

Welcome to the forum!

A mock-up of what you are looking for would help.

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one.

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 solution is 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.

If you want to build in some flexibility, it would be better to use a helper column in Sheet1 to identify the records that meet the criteria. Suppose you use column H, with this formula in H2:

=IF(B2="November",MAX(H$1:H1)+1,"-")

When you copy this down it will set up a series of unique sequential number for those records which match the criterion, and returns a hyphen for those which don't, thus showing where the formula is active. The word November could come from another cell, perhaps a drop-down in cell B1 on the other sheet, in which case the formula would become:

=IF(B2=Sheet2!$B$1,MAX(H$1:H1)+1,"-")

The formula can easily be changed to set up some other criteria.

In sheet2 you would have this formula (e.g. in A2):

=IF(ROWS($1:1)>MAX(Sheet1!$H:$H),"",INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,MATCH(ROWS($1:1),Sheet1!$H:$H,0)))

This can be copied down to return the data from column A of the first sheet where there is a number in the corresponding cell of column H. The term ROWS($1:1) will return the value 1 on the first row of the formula, but when the formula is copied down it changes to ROWS($1:2), ROWS($1:3), ROWS($1:4), and so on, which return the values 2, 3, 4 etc. on successive rows. Thus the formula will get the first record, then the second, then the third, and so on. You can change the criteria in the other sheet, but this formula will remain the same.

Hope this helps.
