Linking two sheets so they're identical

[ilovejellybeans]

I want to link sheet 2 to sheet 1 so they’re identical whenever a change is made to sheet 1. I went to google but I am not currently seeing how it can be done. The formula I entered into cell A1 on sheet 2 is =sheet1! but that formula didn’t work. I’m hoping to find a formula so I don’t have to manually make sure everything is the same whenever I update sheet 1.

Easily done with Power Query/Get and Transform found on the Data Tab of the Ribbon.

I have constructed a table of Values in Sheet1.

Sheet2 is a duplicate of the Values.

Make any changes to Sheet1 and then click on Refresh All on the Data Tab and Sheet2 is updated.

Here is the Mcode for the actions taken

M-code basics:
- "let" is the start of a query
- "in" is the closing of a query
- each transformation step sits in between those 2 lines
- each step line is ended by a comma, except the last one
- "Source" is always the first step (Source Data)
- After "in" you have the last step referenced
