    Google Sheets: How to pull data from Tabs in Excel to create a list

    Hi!

    I would like to know how can it be done to pull data from different tabs to create a main list. I am working with an excel workbook(google sheet) which has about 78 tabs. Each tab has information such as contact information, location, group name, etc. With all of that information I need to create a main list. As well as to reflect any information they add or remove. I thought of using the formula =(tabName)!(cellNum) and it does what its needed. The problem is that they are so many tabs and I have to set a number of rows. If I set it to list 10 and if the tab they add 20 then the main list will not reflect it. I also have to name every single tab name on the "formula". Does anybody know a different way for this to be done?

    Attached is the example. First tab is the main list(end result). Second tab, ABC its a tab example where the user will be entering the data. Third tab, DFG its another tab for entry data.

    Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

    This is where you need to switch to Ms Access.
    The right tool to do this with little effort.

    Rule 08: Cross-posting Without Telling Us

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without telling us about your threads on other forums.

    Post a link to any other forums where you have asked the same question. If you have fewer than 10 posts here, you will not be able to post a link, but you must still tell us where else you have asked the question.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

    If you have less than 10 posts, do not try to copy and paste the link. Instead, type the link out in your thread.

    No further help to be offered, please, until the OP has complied with this request.
