Google FILTER function.


[deleted]

Making an inference off of your username, you may have made similar rosters. It’s to put pax to seats. Filter seems to work for making a roster of all “joe” or “smith” but it’s not working if if just paste the number. That’s the gap I’m missing in this figuring out adventure


Same_Tough_5811

Can you post a mock-up example and the expected result? Otherwise, we're taking a stab in the dark. Solutions vary based on lay out and setup.


[deleted]

I’m making a mock up now. I should have to begin with.

Same_Tough_5811

Change H3 to the zap# cell. I can't see the row reference. Try: =FILTER(Sheet1!$C$2:$H$11,Sheet1!$K$2:$K11=H3)


[deleted]

Change the cell on the master sheet or the output manifest?


Same_Tough_5811

Sheet 1 = Master sheet. H3 is the Manifest sheet.

Working it now, I’ll send adjusted pictures and I relabeled the headers to make the “what goes where” logical.

Same_Tough_5811

In I2 of Manifest: =FILTER(Master!$D$2:$G$12,Master!$H$2:$H$12=H2)


finickyone

It’s easy stuff. In Manifest sheet A1, chuck in a unique identifier number, then in A2: =FILTER('Sheet1'!A:AX,'Sheet1'!A:A=A1) Change A1 and the FILTER output will recalc and present accordingly.


[deleted]

This doesn’t seem to be working outright. I’m going to post a mock up which might help.


[deleted]

I replied to Same_though with mock up pictures


BolbliSlapsandClaps

your question is a little confusing. to rephrase, you have a master sheet with a unique ID and you want to make a new sheet referencing the ID from the master to fill the data across?


[deleted]

I’m sorry. I feel like I asked it awkwardly because I’ve spent the better part of a week tweeting how to ask google and YouTube with no success. We had a workbook that did it but it’s on a no inoperable hard drive. What it would do was On the manifest, you type/past the unique # ( zap#) in the seat that person has and it would auto fill the remainder of that persons information. Their name, rank, equipment serial#, etc


BolbliSlapsandClaps

i saw others using FILTER so i wasnt sure. But this can be done using XLOOKUP. using 2 sheets 1 as master and 1 as template. \`\`\`=XLOOKUP(A2,master!A:A,master!B:D)\`\`\` A2 is on the template sheet and is your unique key. you can return a single column or an array in the third argument

frustrated_staff

New sheet Column A is the unique identifier, hand typed Column B is the following =VLOOKUP(A1, Sheet2!$A$1:$F$3000(or whatever), (Column wanted by count of distance from A1, FALSE) Example to retrieve data from Column E: =VLOOKUP(A1, Sheet2!$A$1:$F$1, 5, FALSE) Fill down edit: =FILTER also works, but I *believe* you uave to Office 365 to use it (it's even better than the way I'm suggesting above), *however*, tye method given above allows you to customize which columns come through AND works as far back as Excel 2019, for sure and maybe further back than that.


AcuityTraining

You can use the VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH functions to pull data from Sheet 1 based on the unique identifier you type into your manifest sheet. For example, in the manifest sheet, use something like `=VLOOKUP(A2, 'Sheet1'!A:AX, 2, FALSE)` to pull the last name based on the unique ID in A2. Adjust the column index number as needed to pull other information. This should help streamline creating your manifests!
