I am working with excel 2004 for a mac, and I am pretty new to using excel outside of basic formulas in the formula bar.
That being said, I have a spreadsheet with 4 worksheets within it. Each worksheet has the same first column, which consist of about 107 account names for my business.
What I've done is created multiple worksheets within the spreadsheet - one for contact info, one for financial info, one for season projections, etc - this at least keeps the sheet from being the size of Wyoming. But here is my question:
Is it possible to automate the spreadsheet so that any change to the account list in Column A on sheet 1 will automatically change the account list in Column A in all other sheets? Also, if there is a whole row added in the first sheet, can that be replicated in all other worksheets as well?
right click the sheet1 tab and click viewcode and in the window that comes up copy this event code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo stage
Dim j As Integer, k As Integer, r As Integer, c As Integer
j = Worksheets.Count
'MsgBox j
If Target.Column <> 1 Then Exit Sub
r = Target.Row
c = Target.Column
Target.Copy
For k = 1 To 3
'MsgBox Sheets(k).Name
If Sheets(k).Name = "Sheet1" Then GoTo nnext
Worksheets(k).Cells(r, c).PasteSpecial
nnext:
Next k
Application.CutCopyMode = False
stage:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
test a few cases
regarding introducing a new row
keeping control key down click all the tabs. these will turn to white background
now if you type a row it will be automatically entered in all the sheets in the same row
REMEMBER to click one of the now turned white tabs so that the sheets are deselected and only sheet1 is selected.
