Auto insert rows into worksheet from table in another worksheet
Hello,
I have the attached spreadsheet. The Log worksheet is our 'working' worksheet and it pulls data by selecting the (+) button then (in) or (out) arrow - folder is selected and any files or emails within the folder selected, will auto insert into the LOG worksheet.
I would like specific data to pull from the LOG worksheet and auto-insert into the 'Transmittal Letter' worksheet. The column headers with the data I am looking to derive, are Document Number, File Name, Rev, Document Type, Status and Date In/Out
I have tried pivot tables, which are great for summaries but with my lack of pivot knowledge it fell flat, I tried a simple formula (=+) <-- but that does not work since it is a table the data is coming from, and auto shifts down the formulas and then the links break.
I tried making the Transmittal letter into a table as well but that did not work. So I have tapped my well of knowledge and am kindly asking for any and all help if possible.
Ok... I cannot attach any files apparently. Every file type I try to attach I'm being told is not supported - if you can also tell me how to fix this...
Thank you in advance!
Thanks. If you have Excel 2021 or 365, enter the following formula in C13:
=INDEX(Trans,SEQUENCE(ROWS(Trans)),{3,4,6,7,8,9})
Excel will do the rest for you.
If you have an older version, select C13:H13, enter the following formula and confirm it with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, then fill down as far as you want:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Trans,ROWS($C$13:$C13),{3,4,6,7,8,9}),"")
I have included both in the attached version, in two different sheets.
If you cannot attach files here, upload them to a cloud service such as OneDrive (comes with a Microsoft account), Google Drive (comes with a Google/Gmail account) or Dropbox.
Obtain a link to the uploaded file and paste it into a reply.

Here is the link - thanks so much
Thanks. Can you tell us how you want to select a record (row) from the LOG sheet from which you want to retrieve data to the Transmittal Letter sheet?
