conditional copying a group of cells from one sheet to other

[Dipam]

howdy,,,, anyone.

i need a group of cells copied from one sheet to another if a specific cell value within that group equals that of another (from a list of grouped data).
The group of cells next to the 'specific value cell' are consistant in their number (8 across 2 down for exmple). So this group (8 acr-2 dwn) would be copied to another sheet if the cell next to that group equalled a cell value entered by the user.....
This has probably confused anyone who reads it as it has been a long day at work and i am confused reading it... if anyone responds i can elaborate then

thanks

Welcome to the board

OK, I'm confused but it doesn't sound like it should be too difficult

As I don't completely understand, how about an example of something I hope would be similar? If you have this formula in sheet2 B1

=IF($A$1=sheet1!M3,sheet1!E1,"")

this cell will remain blank unless A1 sheet2 (entered by user) is the same as M3 sheet1, in which case you'll get the value from E1 sheet1 (2 up and 8 left).

You can copy this formula and the cell values will adjust accordingly, except A1 which is fixed by the dollar signs

Have I confused you back or does that help at all?

thanks for replying,,,,
see if this clarifies the problem:

Example of one entry into sheet 1.

sheet 1:
user input (cell 7D - 'Nokia 6680' this is typed in by user), this cell is linked to (cell 7AW on sheet 1).
There will be other data linked horizontally

sheet 3:
This will be the final printed report.. (cell 34G on sheet 3) is linked to (sheet 1 cell 7AW).
All horizontal data from sheet 1 is transposed vertically to this sheet 3.

sheet 2:
This contains a listing of contents of various mobile phone box contents. eg (cell 115A - 'Nokia 6680', this is the title) (cells 116D to 119H - all the box contents-charger, cd, manual etc etc)
(cell 121A - 'Nokia 9300', a different title) (cells 122D to 125H - different box contents from those above)

SO,, when a user enters the phone model 'Nokia 6680' into sheet 1, a check is made against sheet 2 column A for the title match 'Nokia 6680'. The data in the adjoining fields from the title (3across1down to 7across4down) is copied to sheet 3 into 67D to 70H.


The same process will apply to other data entered on sheet 1 and similar checks from other sheets with data listings to complete sheet 3 the final report.

Hope this makes sense or have i just added more confusion..
