How can I do copy data from another tab that does not start from row 1 and keep the order?

[alexgon212]

I have included some cells references below to better explain what I need done. I am aware I can easily use the "transpose" paste function, but this is simplified data that I am illustration in this example for my end product I need to know how can I copy and paste the next row of data located in tab 2 to my tab 1 data set.

My problem is that the moment that I try to use autofill or drag down my relative formula set. It copys the data from Tab 2 of N5:R5 (Horizontally) which is great, but then it jumps to N10:R10 which is not what I want. I want it to copy the following row which would be N6:R6.

I tried using =Offset formula, but excel never recognizes the trend. Please note that the real data set is 1,000+ data entries and this would minimize the manual process.

P.S: The reason why I labeled each data set "tab 1" and "tab 2" is because I originally have these data sets in different tabs and they are in different rows within their corresponding tabs.

is that what you want?
Done with PowerQuery

--
Power Query for

• Excel 2010 Pro Plus or Excel 2013 Pro Plus can be downloaded as free add-in from MS site (choose correct version). I suggest Power Pivot also
• Excel 2016 or Excel 365 is built-in, aka Get&Transform
• PowerQuery works with M-language and does not contain any classic formulae or vba code
• What is PowerQuery? see here: Getting Started with PowerQuery (Get&Transform) in Excel

Alternatively, with your table laid out as in Sheet2 of the attached file, and with your list starting in B15 of Sheet1, you can use this formula in C15:

=INDEX(Sheet2!$B$5:$F$12,INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/COUNTA(Sheet2!$4:$4))+1,MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,COUNTA(Sheet2!$4:$4))+1)

and copy this down as far as you need to. You can use this formula in B15:

=INDEX(Sheet2!$4:$4,MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,COUNTA(Sheet2!$4:$4))+2)

to get the headings.

Incidentally, it would help in future if you attached a sample Excel workbook, rather than a picture of one.

Hope this helps.
