Connecting multiple spreadsheets so the information automaticall
Hi, I would like to ask what is the best way to connect several spreadsheets with same data but sorted by different information so when one cell is updated, it automatically updates information on other spreadsheets.
To explain this better, there is 14 spreadsheets of Programme Timetables, each with 2 or 3 tabs of data and there are also staff timetables for each staff member, which specify which modules of specific programme staff is covering.
My questions is, if staff timetable is changed, how to connect everything so that programme timetables is automatically updated.

RE: Connecting multiple spreadsheets so the information automati
Hi Ania
Thank you for using the forum to ask a question.
Excel has different ways of managing this data.
We must first start by understanding that how you have setup the Excel workbook works well for us inputting data but doesn't work well for Excel to automate.
You would start by having all of the data on one sheet "Master or Control Sheet"
Then that data would be linked out to the other sheets. Links are one directional from master out to additional sheets and don't update in reverse. https://www.stl-training.co.uk/post-41252-referencing-cells-separate-work.html
You can also do this with Pivot Tables and a Data model which we cover on the Excel Advanced course
Kind regards
Richard

Excel tip:Adding up time greater than 24 hoursWhen you add up time if it exceeds 24 hours i.e 27 hours appears as 03:00. Go to Format / Cells / Number / Custom. The format is hh:mm but if change it to [hh]:mm it will add up to the correct amount of hours. |
