EXCEL FORMULA i want a formula which is useful in excel from which ican enter details in second sheet from 1st sheet when i enter in 1st sheet

pen both the sheets in the same window as:-
1. View Tab-->New Window --> Arrange All --> tiled
2. Open first sheet in first window and second in second window
3. now create formula simply by clicking in corresponding sheets and selecting cells.

Alternatively you can use following format of addressing:-
1. SheetName!CellAddress (Same Workbook)
2. [WorkbookName]SheetName!CellAddress (Different Workbooks)

For more clarification please mail on [email protected] with screenshots.

To have the contents of the cell change from something you input into something else, you would need to put in a macro using VBA. You'll need someone who knows VBA to help with that.

OR... It is a lot easier to get similar results, if you are ok with using a few more cells to do it. The item# will remain where it was entered, and the product name will have to go in a different cell. In that case, you can use a lookup formula.

To do this, lets say your item# is entered in cell 'Sheet1'!C1, and you want the product_name to display in cell 'Sheet1'!D1. On another sheet (lets say sheet2) In cells 'Sheet2'!A1:B5 input the item#'s in the first column (column A1:A5) and input the matching product-names in column B1:B5. This is your lookup data. This sheet can be hidden if you want In cell 'Sheet1'!D1, use a vlookup formula that will look at the item# and find a match in the list, and display the product name for you. =vlookup('Sheet1'!C1,'Sheet2'!$A$1:$B$5,2,false)
This will display N/A# if the number can't be found.

Hi enelrah_mel0,

You can create a function called SpellNumber using the Visual Basic Editor in the Microsoft Excel to spell the number.

1. Please Open Microsoft Excel. Then press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.
2. Then, click "Insert" option above the Visual Basic Editor window and select "Module".
3. Then, in the Book1 Module1 (Code) window, paste the below code there. (pasted in the next post separately for your convenience)
   
4. Then, press Alt+Q to close the Visual Basic Editor window.
5. After that, please type the formula " =SpellNumber( * )" in the Excel Sheet and press the Enter Key.
6. Then, save the Excel Sheet.
   

eg: =SpellNumber(A1)

Where A1 is the first cell in the excel sheet.


Good Luck!

Please post back the result and let me know if you require further assistance.

Thanks for using Fixya.

1. Select all cells (either press Ctrl+A or click on the small upper left square on the edge of the worksheet)
2. In the menu bar, go to Format - Cells
3. In the popup menu that opens, click on the Protection tab (it should be the last one on the menu)
4. Deselect the small box tagged Locked
5. Click on OK. Now all your cells can be overwritten, regardless the protection status of the worksheet.
6. Select only the cells containing formulas that you want to hide (If you need to perform multiple selection, you can press and hold down the Ctrl key, while clicking on each cell you want to select)
7. In the menu bar, go to Format - Cells
8. In the popup menu that opens, click on the Protection tab
9. Tick the small box tagged Hidden and the Locked box as well. If you don’t tick the Locked box, other users of your worksheet would be able to overwrite the formula cells, without even knowing that they contain formulas (as they become invisible following this operation).
10. Click on OK
11. In the menu bar, go to Tools - Protection - Protect Sheet
12. If you want, you can input a password for unlocking the worksheet. This will prevent others from unlocking it. If you don’t want to do that, leave the password field blank and press OK.
13. Now click on one of your cells containing formulas and look at the formula bar. It should be empty, although the formula is still there. The cell would remain locked, but it would be automatically updated when changing the content of its precedents relating to the contained formula.

=VLOOKUP(A2;Sheet1.$A$3:D27;2;0)

The cell I created this formula in was Sheet 3 Cell C9 - to show the different sheets
A2 is the cell I want to look up
Sheet1.A3:D27 is the range of cells that contains the data I want to return, The first column relates directly to cell C9 is Sheet 3. I locked the first cell in my range as I wanted to apply the same formula across other cells hence the $
2 is the number of the column that has the data I want to return, I had a choice in this formula of 4 columns
0 is the value to complete the formula

type in "=" and then go to the cell in the 2nd sheet and click on the cell that contains the value you want carried to sheet 1. Then drag copy the forumula in sheet 1 to all the cells you want it to relate to. Now, if you place a value in e.g. A1 of sheet 2, then that same value will appear in A1 of sheet 1.
Good luck.

Nope, sorry, although I am truly an expert at Excel formulas, I do not understand what you are trying to end up with in the final cell. We can compare a specified field with two spreadsheets - use named ranges and index/match lookup formulas. But then where you really lose me is in reading "a generic field" to find a match, and then placing what "data from another field" into what "other sheet" - ? See the confusion?

Best way to compare 2 given parameters would be to use a nested if formula, with index/match combo. Here is a simple Excel example of how such a formula could be structured:

Sample Data (columnar arangement):
A1: Part B1: Code C1: Price D1: Find Part E1: Find Code
A2: x B2: 11 C2: 5.00 D2: y E2: 12
A3: x B3: 12 C3: 6.00 D3: y E3: 11
A4: y B4: 11 C4: 7.00 D4: x E4: 12
A5: y B5: 12 C5: 8.00 D5: x E5: 11

To retrieve the price for part y with code 12 and return the value to cell F2, type the following formula in cell F2:
=INDEX($C$2:$C$5,MATCH(D2,IF($B$2:$B$5=E2,$A$2:$A$5),0))

Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter the formula as an array formula. The formula returns the value 8.00.

To take this one step further, with range names, this example will find one value at a specified location which matches a specific row header value and column header value. Let's say the range is home values (Range=HomeVal), Column A of HomeVal contains street addresses,"row headers" (Range=StAddress), and Row 1 contains dates of the various values that are in the body of the table, "column headers" (Range=Dates). To return the specific value from the range HomeVal to another sheet, where A1=address specified and A2=date specified:
=INDEX(HomeVal,(MATCH($A$1,StAddress,0)),(MATCH($A$2,Dates,0)))

Then make sure to press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter the formula as an array formula - if you only hit enter, these types of formulas will not work properly.

That depends on which version of Excel you are using.
Excel 2003 supports up to 65,335 formulas
Excel 2007 has no limit.
you can communicate between the worksheets which are contained by one workbook (one excel-file).
Communicating between files cannot be done with formula's.

you have to use the reference Do you know how to use it

at first select the 1st page data and select data-subtotal from the upper menu list.
then enter the formula as =sum(1stpageSubTotal,2ndpageSubTotal,3rdpageSubTotal) then Press Enter.

If not solved pls get me that data as to reference.

thanks
