    Need help creating a Auto populate worksheets based cells in another worksheet text based

    Hello,

    I would like to say thank you in advance. Here is what i am wanting to do:
    I am a total newb at formulas and functions, i am trying to create a workbook that based on the worksheet Activities report it will auto populate the other work sheets (PCSD, Store 1,, PRP LOG) based on the drop downs of column G to populate the work sheets PCSD, Store 1 and PRP LOG and copy/return the text info of the entire row.


    I plan on locking done all sheets except the "Activities Report" worksheet to prevent the formulas from being messed up, if possible i would also like to auto populate the worksheets Team 1 and Team 2 based off the drop downs in column B on the activities report.

    I have asked around some coworkers and being told that excel would not perform this and i am asking to much of the program, i don't believe them

    You need to mock up manually examples of the outcomes you expect. What you have given us is a lot of empty tables, so not enough to go on. It’s hard to see how one tab is meant to relate to another.

    Mmmm. I’m pretty baffled by this. If it were me, I’d have one tab with one table and set up slicers at the top to filter it. I really don’t see the point of all the different tabs. I’m viewing on an iPad at the moment, though, so may be missing something obvious.

    EDIT: Of course it can be done, but my question is why? Is it really worth it?

    Currently all these work sheets reside in different work books and have to be manually entered into the different work sheets (yup gotta love redundancy), of course based on what activity you are doing depends on what sheet you are duplicating. The idea is to reduce the copy and paste.

    I have gotten this formula to barley work =IF('ACTIVITIES REPORT'!$G9="PRP",'ACTIVITIES REPORT'!G9," ") I am unable to add the second word i want it to look for also getting blank rows when it does not find the word in the cell.

    Thank you,

    I agree with AliGW that this could be easily accomplished by filtering the table on the Activities Report sheet, however in the spirit of 'The customer is always right' here is a proposal:
    1) A helper column, which may be moved and/or hidden for aesthetic purposes, is added to the 'Acitivities Report' sheet. The column, headed "#", is populated with ascending numbers.
    2) A similar column is added to the PCSD sheet, and could be added to the others if the method is deemed satisfactory, which is populated using:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    3) The remainder of the columns on the PCSD sheet are populated using:

    4) Zero values are hidden using conditional formatting.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
