Formulas Across Sheets

I am a basketball coach and am trying to compile season statistics for 38 games. I have a 38 Sheets (one for each game) and a Sheet Labeled "Season Stats". In The "Season Stats" Sheet, I would like to do things like sum up all minutes played for a player for all 38 games. Is there a formula that would allow me to do this? My "Minutes Played" Stat for all 38 games is in the same cell "B8" on all 38 sheets.

When it comes to referencing values contained in multiple tables (or in tables on multiple sheets), there is no concise formula like there would be if you were selecting a range of cells within one table. But what you want to do can still be done. What is unknown right now is the easiest way to do it. I can give some hints but without knowing how your tables & sheets are named, I can't provide an exact answer.
If your sheets are consecutively numbered such as Sheet 1, Sheet 2, etc. or Game 1, Game 2, etc. it is a little simpler than if they have totally unique names. I am assuming that you have one table per sheet, all are called Table 1 and each has a column for all player names and several columns for the stats for that game. I am assuming you will create a unique summary table for each player.
The basic idea is to have formulas that pull all of a single player's stats (from every game) into the player's summary table. Then you can more easily use them in formulas. When done, you can hide the rows of raw game stats and have only the summary stats visible. Then you can replicate (copy/paste) this table for every other player and all you'll have to do is change the player's name. Or you can copy/paste a section of the table repeatedly to lower rows if you want to do everything in one table.
Actually, before I go on, can you describe your document more fully? If I assumed something incorrectly then I'm going to end up doing a lot of typing for nothing.

  • Re: conditional formula across sheets

    Hello all,
    I've created a spreadsheet with 13 sheets, the first sheet being a Report Sheet.
    I'm trying to arm the Report Sheet with a formula that addresses the following condition.
    If, for example, a box is checked on sheet 2, then copy and paste the contents of a specific cell associated with the checkbox on that sheet ... to a specific cell on the Report Sheet.
    Is this even possible?
    Regards,
    Michael Kelly

    Hi M,
    Do you use Dropbox? you could share a link- make sure you don't have any sensitive info in the table.
    Or I could try to just walk you thru it. Is is easy.
    Start in the cell you want the value to show up in. Type "=". Type "if" and hit return. You will see this:
    "if-expression" is already highlighted. Navigate to your other sheet and click on the checkbox in question.
    Click on "if-true", it will highlight. click on the cell who's value you want when the check box is selected.
    Click "if-false" and enter what you want returned if it is unchecked.
    You are done. Easy, amirite? I really like how much you can get done pointing and clicking in Numbers. If you study what you end up with then you start to understand the syntax that each function needs.
    An interesting thing you may notice is that if your tables have unique names the sheet does not have to be specified. i.e. UniqueTableName::A2 will work regardless of its sheet. Whereas Sheet 2::Table 1::A2 would be necessary if there are multiple Table 1s.

  • Can u use formulas across sheets?

    sorry if this is an obvious question, but i'm new to spreadsheets, so any guidance would be helpful.
    is it possible to, say, select cells from two sheets and have their sum appear in a cell on a third sheet??
    if so, how does one do that? it's probably in the manual, but i have no idea where to look.
    thanks

    Yup, the SUM function on the third sheet looks like SUM(number, number). Enter "SUM(" in the formula editor then click on the cell where the first number is (you can click on Sheet 1 first in the Sheets window) then type a comma in the formula editor and click the cell with the second number. Enter a ")" in the editor and hit Enter. Done. Sounds more difficult than it is. Basically, just click whenever you need a cell reference, it'll type in the proper syntax for you. It'll look something like "Table 1 :: A2".

  • Formula across tables doesn't work??

    How is possible to create a formula across tables in the same sheet?.
    In numbers for OSX is very easy, point and click and add cells to the formula.
    In numbers for icloud beta if I start the formula into a table and then I point and click in another table, I lose any reference! ...
    What's wrong?
    Thank you for your help

    More details:
    It happens also with regular tables.
    The first TRUNCATE is done, but the successive ones doesn't have any effect.

  • How to drilldown query across Sheets

    Hi,
    I'm working with Bex 3.5. Actually I have defined a Query with characteristic 'Plant' in the rows. The idea is create a workbook based on this query but with the plant drilldown across different sheet. As an example:
    Plant selection: Plant = A and Plant =B
    Workbook view: Sheet 1 with correspondent values to Plant =A
                                 Sheet 2 with correspondent values to Plant =B
    Is it feasible? any help is welcome.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your fast answer.
    I try your proposal but unfortunately it doesn't works. The workbook is a dynamic one, I mean it can be refreshed based on the user selection condition, it means that when refreshing the new selection conditions inserted by the user will be applicable for the whole sheets.
    The idea is create the sheets based on the user selection conditions. also I don't like to copy the same query and also change the filter conditions for the different plant (exists two many plants) and also this options will require a lot of maintenance work.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Maintain formatting across sheets

    Hello,
    I have one Numbers 3.2.2 document with two sheets, one has red text the other black. On Sheet One I call certain cells in Sheet Two using an IF function. Is there a way for the formatting (font, color, etc) to be maintained from one sheet to the other? I know there are ways to do this with conditional highlighting, but I already have my texts formatted as I'd like them to be on their respective sheets.
    Thanks.

    Hi laughtandid,
    You want data from your red sheet to show as red on the black sheet? Am I understanding this right?
    What is the problem you are trying to solve with this? How are you going to use the information? There may be alternative solutions.
    I don't believe you can do this automatically without conditional highlighting. You can select non adjacent cells with option-cmd and combine highlighting rules once you have recreated your formatting.
    or
    When you enter the formula in a cell you can choose a predefined paragraph style for that cell that matches the one created on the other sheet.
    See here for how to add a paragraph style.
    Are either of these suggestions helpful?

  • Using Applescript to Copy a Table Across Sheets

    Hi,
    I am learning to use Applescript and I am not sure how to do the following:
    Copy a cell value from one table in one sheet to another table in another sheet.
    I tried the following:
    tell sheet “B”
    set value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” to (value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “A”)
    end tell
    But that does not work.

    I forgot to write that you must ALWAYS coerce values to strings.
    set value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “B” to (value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “A”) as text
    or
    set a_val to value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “A”
    if class of a_val is date then set a_val to a_val - (time to GMT)
    set value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “B” to a_val as text
    or
    tell sheet "A" to tell table "X"
    set a_val to value of cell 1 of row 1
    end tell
    tell sheet "B" to tell table "X"
    if class of a_val is date then set a_val to a_val - (time to GMT)
    set value of cell 1 of row 1 to a_val as text
    end tell
    It's necessary for :
    (1) decimal numbers because an Applescript's decimal number use always the period character as decimal separator. Coercing to string replace this standard character by the localized one which is the comma in several countries.
    (2) Numbers doesn't know the object date_time of Ap^pleScript. This is why you got the error : "Numbers got an error: AppleEvent handler failed.”
    Coercing the date to string (or text which is exactly the same task), you send to Numbers a known structure. As you saw, in the 2nd and 3rd pieces of code, I substract the value (time to GMT) when a value is a date_time one. It's required to take care of the Numbers internal behavior.

  • How do summarize data from several sheets

    How do I extract data from several sheets and summarize this data in a separate summary sheet?  What formula should I use?  When I used Excel I would use a formula like =John!G$5 for each cell I wanted from other sheets.  I'm having no luck trying to use the iWork Numbers suggestions.

    Hi Sid,
    "When I used Excel I would use a formula like =John!G$5 for each cell I wanted from other sheets."
    In Numbers,use:
    =John::G$5 to copy the contents of cell G5 on the Table named "John" to the cell containing the formula.
    Both cells must be in the same Document. If there is more than one Table named "John", the formula must also include the name of the Sheet containing the Table being referenced.
    (eg. =Sheet 1::John::G$5 )

  • Copying formula sheets to new files

    Hello all! Thank you for your time and expertise This is the first major problem I have had with Numbers and it has me stumped.
    I have 12 separate files named Q1 - Q12. Each contains sheets named A - I.
    I am trying to create a new file named A which contains each A sheet from files Q1 to Q12. Briefly, I copy sheet A from file Q1 and paste it into file A and rename it Q1 (since it was originally named A). I then copy sheet A from file Q2 and paste it into file A and rename it Q2 (since it was also originally named A). This pattern continues until file A contains sheets Q1 - Q12. I then do the same with file B until it contains Q1 - Q12, etc. I have also created a sheet named Score which contains formulas that have sheets Q1 - Q12 referenced.
    The problem occurs when I try to copy the Score sheet from file A to file B. Since it has formulas referencing sheets Q1-Q12, I figured it would still work (since file B has sheets also named Q1-Q12), however all formulas paste as =#REF! (i.e. the formula is completely gone and replaced with =#REF!).
    This puzzles me as I used this strategy when creating scoring sheets in the original files Q1-Q12 containing sheets A-I. Copying and pasting the scoring sheet between those files worked just fine. The only thing I can think of is that renaming the sheets may have something to do with it. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thank you so much for your time!

    I do mean "sheets" when I described sheets; I actually simplified the original post to keep it short(ish). For the sake of berevity, I didn't mention that each sheet actually had 9 different tables in it. I just figured that added an extra layer of unneeded complexity.
    Since the two files have the same layout (i.e. sheets named the same, same number of tables per sheet, etc.), I was confident that my sheet containing formulas (Score) referencing other sheets by name would be able to be copied to other files without problem. But I was wrong...
    Trying your idea, it does appear to work but is a bit more labor-intensive than I had hoped it would be. Thank you for the suggestion - I do appreciate it! This solution is definitely better than the alternative I had come up with, so I'll keep it in mind if no one else has experienced this problem and has a solution. Thank you

  • Ignore text in formula

    I have a row which has both numbers and text in it, some both in the same cell.  eg. (text; 7) in one cell
    I then have another row underneath which contains numbers in each cell.
    I have a 'Total' column on the end of the sheet.
    I am trying to formulate each row to equal: Sum(A1*A$2)+(B1*B$2)+(C1*C$2)....etc, but want it to ignore the text, but include the number in the formula.
    Is there any way to do this?

    Actually - no I cant get the formula to work!
    It works fine in Excel, but not in Formcentral.  I just keep getting #VALUE
    I have even set up an excel sheet with a few cells exactly the same location as the ones in FormCentral, then I have copied the formula across from excel (where it works) - and into FormCentral, but it still doesnt work....
    tips?

  • Save Formula Fields

    Is there a way to save a formula field for future use? For example, I create a formula field that I will need to use on various reports. Do I have to recreate this formula field for each new report? Or can I save it for future access on the new reports?
    Thanks!

    Hello
    As far as i can see the only way to re-use formulas is if you are connected to a BO repository (Crystal Reports server or BO Enterprise)
    Then you can add a formula to the repository and pull it into another report from the repository
    When you are just using Cr designer then i think you need to copy your formulas across, from report to report
    If you copy from the desing canvas of one report to the desing canvas of another report then the formual will be created in the new report for you (you would then need to change field names etc)
    I hope i am wrong, and that there is another way
    Best regards

  • Applescript: How do i loop a script between two sheets in one workbook?

    My office uses excel for its invoices and they have tasked me with finding a way to automatically name the invoice tabs in the workbook which are set up between two dummy sheets. What I have works but does not do exactly what they asked.
    This is what I have so far:
    tell application "Microsoft Excel"
              repeat with x in (get selected sheets of active window)
                        try
                                  set name of x to string value of range "T18" in ws
                        on error
                                  display dialog "Re-name failed" buttons {"Cancel"} with icon 0
                        end try
              end repeat
    end tell
    As of now I have to highlight the sheets in the workbook I want the script to run on. I would like to be able is to run the set name script between two sheets (Dummy 1 & Dummy 2) without having to highlight any scripts. I thought of using a from to with the repeat function but that has to be an integer. Any ideas would be welcome as at best I would call myself an ametuer with just enough knowledge to get in trouble.

    Ah, that is a little tricky.  try this instead.
    tell application "Microsoft Excel"
              tell workbook 1
                        set sheetHolder to sheet "Dummy 1"
                        repeat
      -- get next sheet
                                  set currentSheet to next of sheetHolder
      -- check for end sheet and exit
                                  if name of currentSheet is "Dummy 2" then exit repeat
      -- rename (exit on failure)
                                  try
                                            set name of currentSheet to string value of cell "T18" of currentSheet
                                  on error
                                            display dialog "Re-name failed" buttons {"Cancel"} with icon 0
                                            exit repeat
                                  end try
      -- crawl across sheets, inchworm style
                                  set sheetHolder to currentSheet
                        end repeat
              end tell
    end tell

  • How to Format a excel template sheet column data using ssis

    Hi,
    I am filling an excel sheet named sheet1 of a predefined template using SSIS. The template has many other sheets which are calculated using predefined formulas referring sheet 1. Currently I am able to successfully fill the data in sheet1 but other sheets not
    getting populated until I manually perform Text Column conversion on few columns like Date,Time(hh:mm:ss). Could some one please help me to achieve this task. Can I automate the Text to Column
    conversion operation after filling the excel.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jithu

    Hi Jithu,
    If you tried to write the the template the proper (textual) datatypes and the column is and it does not work then
    I only can suggest to write a macro that does the Text Column conversion and have the macro triggered from within the package perhaps better off using a separate process (e.g. a console app that is done using Office interop libraries) as doing it right in
    the package is quite laborious.

  • EvDRE Sheet Expansion

    Anyone having any luck using EvDRE expansion across sheets?
    My sheet expansion seems to be working, but the results in each sheet are the same.  The CurrentView isn't changing.
    I have Paolo Ferreri's documentation, and I have attempted to set up a second CurrentView on Entity that is referenced in the EvDRE MemberSet.
    The CurrentView, however, never changes across the sheets that have been dynamically added.  What am I missing?
    Thanks...Marv

    Petar --
    Thanks for your response.
    To clarify...my EvDRE setup sheet is the only sheet in my workbook.  I am using the EvDRE quick-build wizard to build my expansion.
    My process IS EXPANDING the sheets correctly.  Each sheet is correctly named with the child member. 
    The problem is that after the expansion each sheet has values for total entity rollup (i.e.the static CurrentView).  The EvDRE on the setup sheet has the sheet expansion option (expansion #3), while each of the expansion sheets have only row (#1) and column (#2) expansions.
    The CurrentView for each of the child members has not changed, although their respective sheetnames have.
    I am afraid I am missing something...
