Reference cell from another sheet

Hello,
I've created income and expenses spreadsheets, within the same file. I would like to create a cell with a formula for INCOME less EXPENSES. I've read through many forums and have tried the following formulas to no avail:
On the income sheet (B65 represents our total income, FYI) I've typed:
=B65-'MY BUSINESS 2014 EXPENSES'::'Table 1'::B242
or
=B65-'Sheet 2'::'Table 1'::B242
or
=B65-('MY BUSINESS 2014 EXPENSES'::'Table 1'::B242)
or
=B65-('Sheet 2'::'Table 1'::B242)
or
=B65-'MY BUSINESS 2014 EXPENSES - Table 1'::B242
Nothing is working. I keep getting the same #REF! error message. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance!

I had this same issue, I finally figured you you need a space before and after each ::
'MY BUSINESS 2014 EXPENSES - Table 1' :: B242

  • Reference cell from another spreadsheet

    In Numbers, is it still not possible to reference a cell from one spreadsheet to another spreadsheet? I know it's possible between sheets within a spreadsheet but it would be nice to "grab" info from a different spreadsheet.

    No way to know as noone here in the forums are Apple employees.  You can post your feedback and feature requests to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback"

  • Does anyone know a way to reference values in cells from separate sheets?

    Does anyone know a way to reference values in cells from separate sheets?

    I had not used the iCould version.  I just fired it up. So far I don't know how to click to make a reference to another sheet but the syntax for sheet and table names when typing them in is a little different.  If there is a space character in the name, you have to put single quotes around the name.

  • Formula to deduct one cell from another cell - simple equation - cant find the answer, formula to deduct one cell from another cell - simple equation - cant find the answer

    Could anyone tell me how to deduct one cell from another cell in the numbers application.
    Thank you!

    to subtract one cell from another you enter a formula in a cell by:
    1) click the cell where you want the result to be
    2) click the cell that contains on of the operands
    3) type the minus sign ("-")
    4) click the other cell with the other operand
    e.g.  if cell A1 contains 5, cell B1, contains 2 and you want the difference of those two cells to be in cell C1....
    you would click cell C1 and then type: "=A1-B1" then type the enter key OR
    click cell C1 and then type "=", then click cell A1, then type "-", then click cell B1, then type the "enter" key

  • Unable to import cell data from another sheet in Numbers

    Hi. I have a column of cells that I need to import the values of (copy) from one SHEET to another (not a table within same sheet etc).
    Recently moved to Numbers from buggy GoogleDocs/Drive. Within that i could =importrange and reference the cells in the other sheets tables.
    Failing this, is it possible to allow my customers to view one table within my worksheet, i.e. only have one table viewable and the others not etc?
    Thanks in advance. Si

    Hi Si,
    There are many ways of doing this in Numbers. If you will be sorting your column the function INDEX() could work for you. If you will not be sorting try this:
    Click where you want your first cell to move to. Type "="
    Navigate to your other sheet and click in the first cell you want to move.
    Hit return.
    your value should show in your new sheet.
    Fill your newly made formula down the rest of the column.
    Welcome to Numbers!

  • How do I reference cells from a different table/ sheet in the same document

    Say I have a Sheet that contains two Tables: [A] and . Is it possible to cross-reference the content of a cell in Table [A] from Table and use it to create a function in Table ?
    Eg: =SUM[TableA(K20)]+[TableB(F20:F50)]
    Could I similarly cross-reference the content of cells in Tables in different Sheets?
    Thanks,
    Seb

    Seb,
    Yes, you can. With the cursor in the location where you want to place the external reference, navigate to your Sheet and Table of choice and click the cell that you wish to reference. The external reference will appear in the formula.
    Note however that we are talking about different sheets in the same Numbers file. We can't reference sheets or tables in other files.

  • I want to reference a cell from another table and fill it with text

    I I have several tables that update each other with data from the previous one. These tables are identical and follow each other by date. In each table is a cell (B1) where a persons name goes. the cell (B2) references another cell from a previous dated table. Some days, consecutively, no name is entered in to cell B1. I want cell B2 to always refer back to the most recent table with a name is cell B1. How can this be done?
    I have written this formula (applied to cell B2 of this example) already: IF(Day 1::B1="","",IF(Day 1::B1≥"",Day 1::B1))  but it only references the previous days table and stops there. Some days nothing is inputed into cell B1 causing causing the following days table cell B2 to show "0".

    "I am having trouble getting the formulas you suggested to work. I am not sure where the problem is coming from. Could you look at the following spreadsheet and tell me where I am going wrong? The following pic shows Day 1 and AUX tables. In Day 1 cell B1 a Drivers name is entered. As you can see by the formula that you gave the B2 is for "Product" not the drivers name "David"."
    Hi br,
    The formulas provided above apply directly to the set of tables shown with them. In each of these tables, the target cell, containing the name of the driver for that day is cell B2 on the table for that day.
    For Day 1, the driver is Huey, found in cell B2 of Table 1, and the cell reference to retrieve the information from that cell is =Table 1::B2
    The formula in B2 of Aux uses INDIRECT to build that cell reference from the fixed text string "Table ", the calculated value ROW()-1, and the text string "::B2"
    ROW() returns the number of the row in which the function sits. In B2, that's row 2, and ROW() returns 2. -1 subtracts 1 from that value, leaving 1. In B2, ROW()-1 returns 1.
    The ampersand is the concatenation operator. It joins the value before it to the value following it. The result is a text string. in the INDIRECT part of the formula, there are two & operators, one after "Table ", the other after ROW()-1.
    "Table " & ROW()-1 & "::B2" with the result of ROW()-1 as the value between the two text strings.
    "Table " & 1 & "::B2"   =   "Table 1::B2"
    INDIRECT( ) takes that text and converts it to the cell address that it represents.
    B2: =IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Table "&ROW()-1&"::B2"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Table "&ROW()-1&"::B2"))
    The first instance on the string in the formula is a test to see if there is anything in the target cell. If not, the formula returns a null string. If there is at least 1 character there, the second instance of INDIRECT is called on to return the name to B2 of the table Aux.
    Compare your formula below:
    B4: =IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Day 3"&ROW()-1&"::B2"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Day 3"&ROW()-1&"::B2"))
    As shown, this is the formula in B4 of your Aux table. In Row 4, ROW() returns 4, and ROW()-1 returns 3.
    So the three elements of the cell address constructed in INDIRECT are "Day 3", 3, and "::B2"
    The cell being addressed is "Day 33::B2", cell B2 on the table named Day 33.
    The error results from there being no table with that name.
    The fix (to the table part of the reference) is to change the first text string to "Day " (including the space after the word Day).
    The fix to replace Product with the driver name is to change "::B2" to ::B1"
    To fit the names of your day tables and the location of the driver's name on each, your formula in B2 should read:
    B2: =IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Day "&ROW()-1&"::B1"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Day "&ROW()-1&"::B1"))

  • How to copy different cells from one sheet to another (automatically)

    Dear community,
    My question is:
    I have a sheet A which contains in a row f.e.
    - date
    - account name
    - amount
    I want to find all rows in A with the account name xy and copy each of this rows to another sheet B.
    in A (automatically):

    2.12.2008 account9 $200,00
    5.12.2008 account2 $210,00
    7.12.2009 account3 $190,00
    I want to see in B all rows with f.e. account2:
    1.12.2008 account2 $100,00
    5.12.2008 account2 $210,00
    Sheet A is filled/changed manually by user, Sheet B shout "follow" automatically.
    How can I realize this?
    Thank you for ideas

    In Tableau 1
    column D uses the formula:
    =IF(B=Tableau 2 :: $A$1,ROW(),99999)
    In Tableau 2
    Cell A1 contains the keyword used to select rows
    In column A the formula is:
    =IF(SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)>ROWS(Tableau 1 :: C),"",OFFSET(Tableau 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)-1,0))
    In column B the formula is:
    =IF(SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)>ROWS(Tableau 1 :: C),"",OFFSET(Tableau 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)-1,2))
    In fact if you read carefully, it's quite the same than the one in column A.
    This is why I used it.
    But you may prefer this simpler one:
    =IF(A="","",OFFSET(Tableau 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)-1,2))

  • Can't link to a cell in another sheet at certain point

    Hello,
    this is the first time I use the support communities.
    I have a continuing promblem with numbers ( v. 2.3). I'm working on a projekt for my univerity and are quite familiar with number. But at a certain point it get's impossible to link to another cell on a different sheet! This works fine until a certain point (which I actually don't know).....
    I do the same stuff which I did very often before but it dosent work....
    1. I click on the cell I want to have the linked value in it
    2. I press = to start linking.
    3. I go to the cell i want to take the data from (in another sheet).
    4. The Box becomes white with the name and position of the source cell in it. But when I klick enter it dosn't work....
    I really don't have an idea what this could be... It worke fine in the same way before a few hundered times... Is there any limitation of link's between the single sheets or something?
    I'm very glad for any help in this issue
    Regards,
    Gregor

    On your last screenshot, you had moved off of the cell you were working on. The resulting formula/reference was not shown.
    Becasue it is not in English, it is hard for me to tell for sure what might be going on.  The reference in your third screnshot looked odd to me.  In English it would be one of the following forms when referencing a cell on a different sheet:
    Sheet name::Table Name::Cell address
    Table Name::Cell Address
    or, if "use header names as cell addresses" is on
    Sheet name::Table name::column name row name
    Table name:: column name row name
    column name row name
    The reference shown in your third screenshot doesn't seem to fit that pattern
    I am assuming if you look at your resulting formula, the cell reference is not in a colored oval, it looks like plain text.
    I've seen header names get misinterpreted by Numbers, like it can't figure them out and make a reference from them. If you are using header names as cell references, changing the names can fix it.  Turning off that feature might also fix it. I don't use that feature usually; it often makes my formulas too long and complicated.
    I have not seen a similiar problem with table and sheet names but you could try changing them to see if it helps.
    Sometimes Numbers simply has a problem with a reference and you have to start over with the formula and it will work the next time. I don't know why, it just happens sometimes.

  • Reference cells in another spreadsheet

    I've not looked at Numbers for a pretty long while now, but '09 has definitely introduced the things that have kept me away (particularly row and column freezing) and it's good to be back!
    Just a check:- I've had a good look around, but as far as I can see, it is not possible to link to cells in another spreadsheet. It's not a deal breaker, but have I understood that correctly?
    Thanks a lot
    Jim

    Henry, you can certainly use references between sheets within the same -- what Excel calls a "workbook", I don't know what it is called in Numbers.
    This is the sysntax, where "Spreadsheet1" is the sheet and "Table1" is the table on that sheet.
    =Spreadsheet1::Table1::a1
    Here's my problem --- I want to use a cell's contents to reference a sheet:
    Sheets named "susie", "dave", and "colette" all have their date of birth in cell A1.
    My summary sheet has the values "susie", "dave", and "colette" in cells A1, A2, and A3.
    I need a function in B1, B2, and B3 that will retrieve the contents of cell A1 from the sheet named in column A.
    I tried using INDIRECT and a straight reference. I just can't find the syntax. Anybody?
    (By the way, I couldn't get INDIRECT to work even in the simplest case. Is it working?)
    regards to all

  • Insert data from another sheet

    I have a problem;
    I want to be able to create a drop down list on one sheet that references a table on another sheet. The data looks like this;
    UNIT
    Cost per day
    unit a
    10
    unit b
    20
    unit c
    30
    I am hoping to create a Drop-down box on another sheet that lets me select a 'unit', and then places the Cost per day in the cell next to it.
    Is this possible within numbers without a huge IF'cell'= formula?
    My aim is to be able to use an iPad running Numbers to create instant quotes when onsite with clients, by referencing a data sheet but presenting it nicely.

    Yes, VLOOKUP should work nicely for that. Set the formula up on one sheet and complete it by clicking the ranges in the lookup table on the other sheet.

  • Reference columns from another query

    I've made XML data template in Report Builder, which consists of multiple data queries and groups. When I use for each XML structure in Word template builder to obtain data, I get data only from one data query, and blanks for fields that I referenced from another group.
    Is there any way to solve that problem.
    Thanks in advanced for the answers.

    It seems to me that you are trying to get to a higher/parent element from within a lower/child group. So, use the ../ notation to get up to an element in a parent group. And add ../ as you go higher and higher. ex. <?../../CHECK_DATE?> Obviously, for referencing lower group, you just open the group with a for-each.
    Make it a habit to open and close your groups for ease of readability.

  • How do i reference a cell in another sheet

    I have an excel workbook with numerous worksheet.
    I have a sheet called summary which has in Col A the names of All 200 worksheets in the workbook
    All the 200 worksheets have product names in col J now each product has a suffix of _AA, and _BB
    e.g   Col J: Steel_AA    Steel_BB   Plastic_AA  Plastic_BB    Wood_AA     Wood_BB etc all lined up in col J one per cell the range varied in some cases may be just two entried in
    J2 and J3 and in other sheets thier could be entries in J2 to J40 the one contatnt is _AA or _BB
    I need to get the product names from Col J on ALL worksheets the product name will be anything up to the underscore so igonre _AA or _BB or _whatever and then to ONLY get the name once and place it on my summary sheet comman sperated as thier could be 1
    entry or 10 entries
    Does anyone have a easy formula for this formula =LEFT(A2,FIND("_",A2,1)-1) would search and ignore anything after the uderscore (_) but I have not been able to tie it to read a sheet name from col A then go to that sheet and pull the info.

    You can use  INDIRECT Function to dynamically refer to worksheets in Excel.
    =INDIRECT(A2&"!J2")
    But based on your description, VBA Code should be a better option.
