Hi everybody,

I'm having a problem, Iam not an expert using excel and I don't know how to find a record in different sheets. In the sheet1 I have a list o clients from B5:B180 that it would be changing every date and I also have 9 sheets where the name of the clients are stored. The 9 sheets are called London, Kitchener, Waterloo, Ingersol, Toronto, Ottawa, MOntreal, woodstock, Cambrigde. Example:

Sheet1

B4 Name of Client
B5 Mark
B6 vanessa
B7 Louis
B8 Remington

I want at the left side of the client name the city where the client is, in this case it would be A4,A5,A6,A7, and A8. Any of you knows a formula to get this done. Thanks

Could you please upload a sample EXCEL file WITH sample data, macro, formula , conditional formatting etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site , http://docs.google.com, http://wikisend.com/ , http://www.editgrid.com etc and post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee. Based on the sample book, could you re-explain your problem too

Hi this is the link for my file:

https://authentification.site/files/23283045/client_database.xlsx

What I want is, at the left side of the client name the city where the client belongs. Honestly iam a newbie but I want to learn, I know there should be a formula or something but I dont know how to do it, any help would be kndly appreciated.

Thank you

Two questions.
1. What makes a record unique. You may have a Mark in London as well as in Kitchener
2. Can you have a helper column (that will house a formula) in all cities sheet

Also I am wondering what if you reverse the design. By that I mean, you have a master sheet with all the information, including city name and by running a macro, the cities based sheets are created. In this way there will not be need of any helper column.

Hi it would be too much t oask if you can show me both metods.

So far the first method I understand for the helper column I would need to create this column for each city tab containing the name of city just beside the customer, am I right? or i'm in the wrong way..

And for the second I don't know how to do it but will like to learn.

Thanks a lot

For #2, see this. It is based on same idea. May be need a lttile tweak. Basic idea is that get a list of unique cities from the master sheet, then for each city, create a new sheet and paste information related to the city.

https://ccm.net/forum/affich-258700-interesting-question-for-excel-champions


for #1
No actually that would be needed to consolidate all the field/elements that makes a row unique. Once that is done, using vlookup, data can be populated.

I am more inclined towards #2 where you have a master sheet and generate other sheets on when needed.

Hi, I was just looking the second option, is going to take me days or weeks to understand that, Iam really new with visual code.

About the first option, I know you are right about using the 2d option, but because of my knowlegde of excel is not like yours could you help me with the first one. I know the vlookup function, even the choose function, but i don't have very clear how to do the rest..

i would appreciate if you can guide me. By the way thanks man

Try this. Basically you would start with your desired sheet, and it will cut sheets bases on cities
