To automatically propagate changes made in one sheet to other sheets in Excel, you can use formulas, linking cells, or even VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros. Here are a few approaches you can consider:
1. Formulas:
If the structure of your sheets is consistent, you can use formulas to link cells across sheets. For example, if the amount owed for a person in November is in cell A1, you can enter the following formula in the corresponding cell in December:
='November'!A1
This will make the December cell reflect the value in November's cell. You can copy this formula across all relevant cells.
2. 3D Reference:
You can use a 3D reference to sum or perform operations across multiple sheets. For example, if your sheets are named "January," "February," etc., and the amount owed is in cell A1, you can sum the values for all months in a summary sheet:
=SUM(January:December!A1)
3.VBA Macro:
For more advanced automation, you can use VBA to create a macro that automatically updates values across sheets when a change is made. This requires knowledge of VBA programming.
Here is a simple example (code is untested):
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If ws.Name <> Me.Name Then
ws.Range(Target.Address).Value = Target.Value
End If
Next ws
End Sub
This VBA code, when placed in the sheet module of a particular month (right-click on the sheet tab, choose "View Code," and paste the code), will update the corresponding cell in all other sheets whenever a change is made.
Remember to save your workbook as a macro-enabled workbook (.xlsm) if you're using VBA.
Choose the method that best fits your needs based on the complexity of your workbook and the level of automation you require. Always save a backup copy before making extensive changes, especially when working with macros. The text and steps were edited with the help of AI.
