Import Cell Data to another sheet depending on the value in another cell on the first sheet

To achieve your goal of importing cell data to another sheet depending on the value in another cell on the first sheet, you can use Excel functions like VLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, or a combination of these along with other functions. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to set up such a system:

Let us assume you have two sheets: "Sales Data" (Sheet1) where all sales data is entered, and "Employee Sales" (Sheet2) where you want to separate the data by employees.

1. Sales Data Sheet (Sheet1):
• Column A: Employee Names (where you enter the employee's name for each row).
• Other columns: Sales Data (e.g., Date, Product, Amount, etc.).
2. Employee Sales Sheet (Sheet2):
• Column A: List of Employee Names (you may manually enter these or populate them from the names entered in Sheet1).
• Other columns: This is where you want to import data for each employee.

Now, you can use formulas in the "Employee Sales" sheet to pull data from the "Sales Data" sheet based on the employee's name.

In the cell where you want to display the first data (e.g., Date), you can use a formula like this (assuming employee names start in A2 on both sheets):

=IFERROR(INDEX('Sales Data'!$B$2:$B$100, SMALL(IF('Sales Data'!$A$2:$A$100=$A2, ROW('Sales Data'!$A$2:$A$100)-MIN(ROW('Sales Data'!$A$2:$A$100))+1), ROW(1:1))), "")

This formula looks for the first occurrence of the employee's name in "Sales Data" (Sheet1) and pulls the corresponding Date (replace $B$2:$B$100 with the column where your Date data is located). Drag this formula down in the column to display more dates for the same employee.

Repeat this process for other columns (e.g., Product, Amount) by adjusting the column reference and cell references in the formula. Just make sure to keep the employee name reference ($A2) consistent.

Here is a breakdown of the formula:

• INDEX and MATCH are used to find the first matching row.
• SMALL and IF are used to find subsequent matching rows.
• IFERROR is used to display a blank cell if no more data is found.

You can customize this formula for your specific data structure and layout. Once set up for one employee, you can drag the formulas down to populate the data for other employees.
