    Transfering data to another sheet and inserting a prompt

    Hi there guys,

    Looking for what I hope is some basic help.

    I’m looking to transfer the rows that have a date in the “Call Back Date” (column B) to a separate sheet called “Call Backs”.

    I’m also looking to insert some kind of prompt which tells whoever is entering data in the “Notes” (column J) to “Please enter a call-back date” (column B).

    I’m still fairly new to all this, so I’m looking to learn how to do this in the future.

    Attached is a test copy of the spread sheet.

    Thanks!

    EDIT - use this:

    =IFERROR('Jan-Feb-March Deals'!$B$2:INDEX('Jan-Feb-March Deals'!$B:$B,COUNTA('Jan-Feb-March Deals'!$B:$B)),"")

    Thid will also suppress any errors - enter formula into Sheet 2 cel A2 of your spreadsheet - as a new call back date is added in the first sheet this list will update automatically.

    As an aside - shouldn't you have details such as a company name, contact alongside?

    Just an observation - the colours of your sheet are outrageous! nearly blinded me! would trigger epileptics into spasm......

    Hi Blake,

    Thanks for taking the time to help me with my problem.

    It doesn't seem to be working though; all that is appearing is a random number; no idea why!

    What id like it to do is take ALL rows with an entry in the "Call Back Date" column and put it in another sheet.

    If it is working on the attachment you downloaded, can you upload so I can see what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks

    Dude - you need to format the cells to a date - that strange number is a date serial number.

    Enter that formula into anysheet an drag down

    If this helps please make as solved and if you are still stuck let me know.

    Aha, right, now I've changed it to date format, that that.

    But I wanted the entire row for each entry that had the "Call Back Date" entered; so it shows all the information in the row, not just the date, do you know what I mean?

    Thanks

    Re: Transfering data to another sheet and inserting a prompt

    ok - in the first row of sheet 2 copy and paste your headings from the first sheet.

    then in b2 copy accross and down

    =IF($A2="","",VLOOKUP($A2,table,COLUMNS($A$1:B$1),0))

    sorry, you need to give your data table a name first - i called it table as u can see
