    Copy Cells Down from Different Tab Names in Order

    Hi,
    Sorry about title, hard to explain in a few words...
    I have a sheet with multiple tabs, Squat (1), Bench (1), Deadlift (1), Squat (2) etc. I would like to put the value from B8 and B5 from each of those sheets (and new ones that have not yet been created).
    This can be done manually, but will end up being quite tedious to create each time a new sheet is added. Currently I have this formula ("Squat" is replace with "Bench" and "Deadlift" depending the cell)
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Now when I copy downward that is when it breaks as I keep getting the "row" increasing in number but it out paces the sheet numbers.
    Attached is the workbook.Daily Workout.xlsx
    Thanks

    Re: Copy Cells Down from Different Tab Names in Order

    See if this approach will help, it relies on having a UDF (User Defined Function) to pull in existing (and new) sheet names, which can then be references by the INDIRECT()

    1. create a named name, and call it SheetNames
    2. in the Refers To, enter this...
    =REPLACE(GET.WORKBOOK(1),1,FIND("]",GET.WORKBOOK(1)),"")
    3. Put this where you want the sheet names to be (I used column A and moved your stuff over 1 column)
    =IFERROR(HYPERLINK("#"&"'"&INDEX(Sheetnames,ROWS($A$2:A2))&"'!A1",INDEX(Sheetnames,ROWS($A$2:A2))),"")
    copy down as needed
    4. change your formulas to reference column A instead of hard coding the sheet name...
    =IFERROR(INDIRECT("'"&A3&"'!b5"),"")

    See how you get on with that?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Hi FDibbins,
    It always amazes me how smart you guys on here are! It took me some googling on how to create the named names etc but seemed to have figured it out and it works perfectly!
    Thanks for your help!

    Happy to help, thanks for the kind words and the feedback

    Sorry I did not include how to create a named range, I guess sometimes we just assume stuff
