    Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    Hi, so I have a problem. I have a sheet with Cases that differ by Teams. Each team has has their own Excel Sheet. So when an entry is put into one of the sheets, I want it to show up on the main sheet "SM June". I can do a regular INDEX and Match such as =INDEX(Table9[Case Driver], MATCH([Case Number],Table9[Case Number],0)), but I want to Index two tables and match on that one sheet.

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    If you want to copy from the individual sheets to the SM sheet, why are the ONLY formulae in your sheet copying data FROM the SM sheet TO the individual sheets. Can you please explain EXACTLY what you want?

    Also, if you DO want to copy from individuals to the Master, roughly how many individual sheets can there be?

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    There is at least 4 individual sheets. I presumed with someone helping me with the two I could figure out how to transition it into a formula I needed. So what happens is I pull a report called "Open Cases". When I do that I copy and paste the open cases onto the June SM sheet. From there it filters the Teams to their respective Sheets. After that, I send the file to four other Team Leads and they fill out the Case Driver and Case Summary on their sheet. From there it will copy to their cases. Then they will send the sheet back to me with those filled out. I was given this

    =IF([@[Team Leader]]="Team MB",INDEX(Table5[Case Driver], MATCH([Case Number],Table5[Case Number],0)),INDEX(Table9[Case Driver], MATCH([Case Number],Table9[Case Number],0)))
    however, when I add the other sheets that won't work. Is there anyway to make more than one IF statement?

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    In Team L, A4, an array formula, copied across and down:

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.


    Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.

    You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

    Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

    For Team MB, the only change needed is to change the red L to MB

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    Thank you. However, I want to insert the formula into "SM June" Case Driver and Case Summary so that when it is filled out in Team L or Team MB sheet, it shows up there.

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    Now I am confused. I which direction are which columns yo be copied? Remember, you know what you want better than anyone. Unless your explanation is clear, I am left guessing.

    So I edited the Testing (2) to show you better. Sorry, I'm horrible with explaining things. Thank you again for your patience.

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    OK. So. To be clear (as you didn't really answer my Q...)

    All info except last 2 columns go FROM SM to individuals.
    Last 2 columns go FROM individuals to MASTER?

    Yes? No?

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    No answer. So, I am assuming that my guess at post 10 is correct.

    In SM, cell G4, copied across and then down:

    Yes you're correct! Thank you so much! That's exactly what I was looking for. Sorry for the late response. Sunday is a busy day for me.

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    Just so I can learn this, this part, Table6[@[Case Number]:[Case Number]], are you matching across multiple sheets?

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    =IFERROR(IFERROR(

    INDEX(Table9[Case Driver],MATCH(Table6[@[Case Number]:[Case Number]],Table9[[Case Number]:[Case Number]],0))&"",

    INDEX(Table5[Case Driver],MATCH(Table6[@[Case Number]:[Case Number]],Table5[[Case Number]:[Case Number]],0)))&"","")

    Red: return the information in Case Driver for Team L
    Orange: for the case number listed in SM
    Green: in the Case Number column for team L
    Cyan: if ERROR (i.e. no match)
    Dark blue: do the same again, only in Table5 (Team MB).

    You'd find it easier to follow if your renamed your tables - e.g. Team_L and Team_MB, etc.

    You're welcome.

    Re: Index Multiple tables on multiple sheets

    Hello, sorry i didnt deem it necessary to create an entirely new thread for my case..
    It is related to his,.. i want to index two tables from 2 different sheets, say for instance SM June as sheet1 and Team L as sheet 2. i want to index the entire tables as they are, with a drop down list controlling which tables i view. Say for instance if i name the table on SM June as Table1 and the One on Team L as Table 2, i have already created sheet 3 with headers (Case Number Media Source Status etc...), and a drop down selection, how do i link the drop down selection to the two tables, so that when i select table1 from the drop down, it returns all the contents, but while in sheet 3?
    Thankyou, and sorry for the tautology.
