    Populate some of the student data from the main table to each of the student tables by Stu

    Hello,

    In an Excel workbook, I have a tab/worksheet with a main table of all students and corresponding tabs/worksheets of smaller tables for each student. I'm trying to populate some of the student data from the main table to each of the student tables by Student ID. I'm tried all kinds of INDEX/MATCH combos and learned about the SMALL function with IF and to add the Arrays "{}". However, I keep getting all types of errors and when I created a formula that worked, it repeated the same 1st row value of the Student ID or skipped the 1st of the Student ID. Please help. Below are attach examples.

    Re: Formula Frustration with INDEX/MATCH/ROW/SMALL and its Arrays

    Hi rjennings1 and welcome to the forum,

    Instead of using formulas, have you tried to use the Advanced Filter tool on the Data Tab. Start on a Student page and create the Advanced filter from that sheet. In the data selection go back to your "All Students" tab. Do the "Copy To:" as "A4" on the Student sheet and click OK. No formula needed...

    NOW - If you create a Dynamic Named Range for your data on the All Student Sheet, the range of all students will grow and your Advanced Filter won't need to change.

    If you add students and then REFRESH all your advanced filters it should work correctly. I hope this helps..

    Hi,
    Thanks for responding quickly. I've successfully created the Dynamic Names Ranges, but is this Advance Filter settings correct?

    Hi rjennings,

    See if the attached example workbook makes sense to you.

    If you can make it work by hand then we can put some VBA behind the worksheets to do the Advanced Filter each time you click on a student worksheet.

    Hi MarvinP,

    Thanks for the spreadsheet. I figured out what I was doing wrong in the Advanced Filter – not including all the column headers in the criteria and range. Also, the VBA is a great idea. Since I know how to record macros, I was able to add Advanced Filter VBAs easily. Thanks again for all your help.
