    Linking cells in Horizontal on one sheet and Vertical on another

    Hi,

    I need to display a set of information in both Horizontal and Vertical fields on separate sheets for different functions. I know how to paste the fields from Horizontal to Vertical ( basically converting a Row of data into columns. But I also want to link the data so if I fill in the Rows, the column cells stay sync'd

    Its easy to do Row to Row or Column to Column, but I'm stuck on how to do it with the conversion ( aside from doing it one cell at a time)

    Any Help would be appreciated

    Regards,

    Re: Linking cells in Horizontal on one sheet and Vertical on another

    It would be much easier to demonstrate if you could post a sample book, but you can achieve the effect you're after using a formula with INDIRECT and COLUMN() to get the entries to line up. For example, if you have data in A2:A12 that you need in C1:M1, put the formula below in C1 and fill right:

    =INDIRECT("A"&COLUMN()-1)

    Adjust the "A" to fit the column with your starting data. Adjust the "-1" to get the row data to line up as desired with your columns. If I've got your intentions backwards, then use ROW() in place of COLUMN()

    EDIT: For clarity, to go the reverse direction, i.e. to take an existing row of values C1:M1 and copy them into a column - A2:A12 - while maintaining an active link between the cells, use the following formula in A2 and fill down through A12. As before, adjust as necessary to fit your actual data.

    =INDIRECT("R1C"&ROW()+1,FALSE)

    You could also use the TRANSPOSE function (remembering that this function needs to be confirmed as an array formula - by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter).

    Re: Linking cells in Horizontal on one sheet and Vertical on another

    OK, I am apparently being quite dense today.
    Not quite getting the suggestion. As requested I'm attaching the file I am working on. What I want to be able to do is to take all the data in Column B of the BOM V sheet, and have it be linked to Row 5 (starting at Column F) on the BOM H page (I already did it for F5 and G5 as an example of the end result. That way when I update data on the BOM V sheet it stays sync'd with the date on BOM H sheet I just couldn't figure out the indirect or transpose functions to do what I am trying to accomplish

    Thanks for the responses.

    Try the formula below in F5 of BOM H, and fill right to the end of your data. It should copy the appropriate column B entry from BOM V.

    =INDIRECT("'BOM V'!$B"&COLUMN()-3)

    Select 'BOM H'!F5:AS5. Enter this formula: =TRANSPOSE('BOM V'!B3:B42) then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
