Help Auto-populating columns from master tab to other sheets?

Copper Contributor

I need help having information on one sheet auto populate to other sheets. For example, the first sheet is sort of a "master" for participant information and on other sheets I only want certain columns to populate.  Can someone assist me? Also, fyi, I am not the most tech savvy :( generally I just look at videos and follow them and that's been "easy enough" but I cannot seem to find what I am looking for. 

 

I'm using Microsft Office 365 version 2109

You can apply filter formula in the other wortsheets to automatically update the data from your masterfile (Sheet 1 in my example).

=FILTER('Sheet 1'!C2:C333,('Sheet 1'!C2:C333<>""))

Above formula returns all data of column C and range C2:C333 of Sheet 1.

=FILTER('Sheet 1'!B2:C333,('Sheet 1'!B2:B333<>""))

Above formula returns all data of column B and C of range B2:C333 of Sheet 1.

 

@OliverScheurich Thank you so much. I am hoping to be able to only pull over some of the data from Sheet 1 to Sheet 2. I have a list of names in column A. I have a field of yes/no answers in column B.  then  I have additional data in columns C-F. I want to pull over Columns A-D only if there is a "yes" in Column B.  

Also, If cells are blank in Column D, I want them to stay blank when I pull them over to Sheet 2. Currently, they are pulling over as zeros and making the sheet very cumbersome to look at. 

 

Thanks for your continued help.

=FILTER(Sheet1!A2:D19,Sheet1!B2:B19="Yes")

 

This formula includes only rows with "Yes" in column B.

Unfortunately I don't know if there is a way to prevent the blank cells in column D from being pulled over as zeros.

Thank you so much! I am going to try this and see how it works. If I need more help I will surely be back :)

Formulas in Excel do not return blank as a value, but you may return empty string instead:

with

=LET(f, FILTER(A2:D9,B2:B9="yes"), IF( ISBLANK(f), "", f) )
