 Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2012 1:58 am Post subject: [Solved] Array with same cell from different sheets. |
 |
|
Goodmorning,
Let's say that I have 10 calc sheets, SheetA, SheetB etc.
I'm interested in A1 cell in each sheet.
I create another sheet in the same workbook, call it SheetZ.
On this last sheet I want to create an array with 10 rows and 1 column.
The contents of this array will be:
SheetA.A1
SheetB.A1
..
..
..
SheetJ.A1.
Is there a formula available to do this?
Thanks a lot!

One way with SheetZ.A1 being the first cell of the array...
| Code: | | =INDIRECT("Sheet"&CHOOSE(ROW(A1)-ROW(A$1)+1;"A";"B";"C";"D";"E";"F";"G";"H";"I";"J")&".A1") |
in SheetZ.A1 filled down to SheetZ.A10.

Thank you for replying.
I tried what you suggested and what I got on SheetZ.A1 was the content of SheetA.A1.
Nothing more.
edit: My fault. Your formula did exactly what I asked.
There is something else. It seems that if I try renaming one sheet, I get an error502 which makes sense. The name of each sheet that I've got refers to a country. So, it's rather like
AU BE BG and so on. How can I alter the formula you proposed in order to get on my summary sheet the array:
AU.A1
BE.A1
BG.A1 |

Try...
| Code: | | =INDIRECT("Sheet"&CHOOSE(ROW(A1)-ROW(A$1)+1;"AU";"BE";"BG";"?";"?";"?";"?";"?";"?";"?")&".A1") |
after changing each "?" to the appropriate country codes.

This works only if sheets are renamed
SheetAU
SheetBE
SheetBG
etc
Can this work if sheets are
AU
BE
BG
etc...
Thank you! |

I used this and it worked!
Thank you very much.
You cannot imagine how much trouble I avoided due to your help.
I will change the thread title to solved. |

Hi

The red Part is senseless, replace it with:
=INDIRECT(CHOOSE(ROW(A1);"AU";....

The red part is just a way of future-proofing against what would happen after a new row is inserted at row 1.
After a new row is inserted at row 1 ROW(A1)-ROW(A$1)+1 updates to ROW(A2)-ROW(A$2)+1. Both the original and updated formulae return 1.
ROW(A1), however would update to ROW(A2) resulting in the first formula of the array returning the second sheet name instead of the first; an undesirable result.
