Hi,


I'm not an expert in Excel, but I need to make a sheet to facilitate my work. I will describe the situation, so you guys maybe will see a different solution for my problem. I have a spreadsheet where I have different inputs, and new arriving every week (let's call it #Input1). I have a different spreadsheet where I made a simple formula for the inputs in #Input1 arrive and fill a column with their info (this spreadsheet is #Input2). Here, the tasks that arrive via #Input1 all have a drop down list, with the options: Concluded, Work in Progress, Not Iniciated. I need to be able to transfer this info to #Input3, which is the final spreadsheet.


There are several #Input2 spreadsheets, one for each project we work on. And all of them go to #Input3, where I combine all the info from them in a single table. So, I have two problems to solve:


1) How to send the right info to #Input3, since it's a drop down list? What I need is that, when the user selects an option in #Input2, for instance, Work in Progress, the same task appears in #Input1 and #Input3 as Work in Progress (all of them have the column Status).


2) To complicate things, not all of the info goes to #Input3, but they go combined. I explain: in #Input2, there are tasks but also subtasks. In #Input3, there are only subtasks. So, sometimes there is a task in #Input3 that can only be marked as Concluded when tasks 10,11 and 17 in #Input2 are marked as Concluded. How can I transfer this correctly to #Input3?


Help, please?
