How to autopopulate columns from multiple sheets
Our take
Are you tired of the tedious process of manually filling in data across multiple sheets? If you update a table weekly from an external source, you know how frustrating it can be to sift through hundreds of rows to find the most recent address and MLS#. Fortunately, there's a smarter way to manage this task. By leveraging AI-powered spreadsheet features, you can autopopulate columns with the latest data, streamlining your workflow and freeing up valuable time. Ready to discover how to enhance your productivity?
I update this table every week from a set list on a website. I then have to fill in the missing columns from previous weeks. The data will repeat inconsistently, sometimes from the previous week, others from a few weeks, and some will repeat multiple times. I need to prioritize filling data in from the most recent weeks.
The main information that I want to look for is the address, but I also need the MLS# to match as that can update randomly as well, but that is easy to check in the listing link so not as important.
My current solution is to just search the workbook for the address and manually copy paste from the most recent week, but that is time consuming as I can have over 100 rows to sift through.
Is there a way to autopopulate these columns, searching the workbook, but prioritizing the most recent sheet data?

- Automate the updating of column data across different sheets in the same workbook from a master sheetI want to automate the copying of changes from certain columns across workbooks Hi everyone, I need some help with creating an excel document to track staff competencies. I would like a file that contains a list of staff members and their employee number. This file would contain multiple sheets (one for each competency). I would love for the staff ID columns to update across all the different sheets. For example: Column A, B, C = surname, first name, employee number Column D = competency name Column E = date completed Column F = upcoming date for reaccreditation Ideally A, B, and C would update across all the different sheets within the workbook (eg after changing a master sheet), and D, E, F would only be updated within the individual sheet pertaining to that specific competency. Context: a list of nurses who can do IV cannulation, special wound dressings, special examinations etc. I would like sheet1 to be a list of staff IDs, and as those staff change over time, I would like thise changes to update automatically to sheet2 (competency1), sheet3 etc... All the instructions I have searched for on google are just too complicated for me. Thank you! submitted by /u/Runningwithbirds1 [link] [comments]
- How to autofill data from a row to a column on a different sheet in the same folder?I've been struggling with some solutions I've found on the forum but after 1.5hrs I'm close to giving up and manually entering data - which is bound to cost me another 28 hrs. Hoping someone has the solution I'm looking for and is willing to share.. I've exported questionnaire results from Mentimeter to Excel. The document output is formatted automatically in a way that uses columns for unique respondents, followed by their answers in the same column but along individual cells on that column's row, meaning the first entry is A2 and the last entry is in cell CQ2 or something. I would like to make this more user-friendly by: 1) putting each respondent's answers in their own sheet in the folder, and 2) by listing the questions in the first column and the answers in the next columns pretty much 'the other way around'. Currently it looks like this; the answers I need are listed in !VotersF3 to !VotersCQ3. The next respondent's answers are in !VotersF4 through to !VotersCQ4 and so on. What I'm looking for would ideally display answers in !AnswerA3 through to A80. When I manually select !AnswerA3 and click on !VotersF3, logically it does what I want. When I then drag down to autofill, equally logically the sheet enters !VotersF4 instead of !VotersB3 as it's a row vs column problem. I've tried different version of INDEX and TRANSPOSE but I can't get a working formula from that. Would anyone be able to provide me with the correct solution for doing this? I've got another 20+ respondents answers that need to be 'easy to view' instead of scrolling 500 screens horizontally.... Thank you Excel wizards! :) submitted by /u/Lost_Mud2097 [link] [comments]
- Is it possible? Populate a cell from a separate sheet dependent on today’s dateHi! I’ve spent a good hour trying to figure things out on my own, but I figured asking wouldn’t hurt. I have a spreadsheet listing out topics that rotate on a monthly basis. I want the title of that theme to auto-populate on a different sheet in the same spread so that it changes on a monthly basis, and for them to be the same in case the original topic changes as well I can get so far as to have the cell match the title using =‘2026’ ! Cell, but is there a way where I can get it to change based off the date? The original spreadsheet (not designed by me) is separated into columns titled Month, Location, Theme, and for some reason Date Range, though it’s always the beginning to end of the month. From there, we have 11 rows to each month. The only data that changes is the Topic. I am needing to create a new sheet based off these topics with additional information, but since the topics are subject to change, I’d like them to be attached to the original spreadsheet. submitted by /u/asclepicats [link] [comments]
- Pulling data from one sheet based on a columnApologies I’m not that experienced with Excel. I have a sheet with dates that a task needs to be completed (sorry for the photo of a screen but work IT won’t let me screenshot). I have a Master List sheet of all dates due (column D adds 48 weeks to Column C and Column E extracts the month from D). I want a sheet for each month and for each month’s sheet to pull the IDs from Column A so we can just look and see which tasks are due in e.g. January. And so that all are visible in the Master List so we don’t end up with duplicate IDs (column A has highlight rules for duplicates). I tried google and think it might need VLOOKUP but couldn’t seem to get it to work. Thanks. submitted by /u/arrianne_ [link] [comments]
