    Editing a larger table from a different sheet in same workbook

    Hi,

    Before I go into what my issue is I think it's easier if I describe it.

    Basically, I have a large table with different data, some of it text, some of it numeric and some of it dates. Each row has a unique serial number.

    Because there are so many columns I've created a compact table on another sheet where I use vlookup to populate each cell that goes back into the larger table.

    The issue I have, is that whenever I want to make any edits to this smaller table, I need to go back to the larger one, as when I click F2, it goes straight to the VLookUp Formula in that given cell.

    So I was wondering whether there's a way, via formulas or VBA, where I can populate a table using a single unique reference from a larger table and make changes to the larger table by making edits in the smaller one?

    Thank you for your help and let me know if you need further explanation?

    Thanks

    Use rows and columns for referencing.


    HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK:

    Fast answers need clear examples. Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Hi CanningTown,

    I'm sure a VBA solution could do this for you. We need a small sample workbook to show you how and write some VBA code.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Re: Editing a larger table from a different sheet in same workbook

    Hi, apologies for not answering earlier. Please note all of the data is in the table is data I've created myself and does not belong to my company.

    Here is the attachment Example Workbook 1.xlsx

    What you'll see is a main table, a pivot table used to extract "reference number", then sheets called "windows" which basically use vlookup to find data from the main table.

    What I want to do is
    1) to be able to edit the main table directly from the "window" sheets and
    2) to be able to add a new line to the table using the New Line worksheet at the end.

    Thank you so much for your help!
