Replacing Cell Data

I wanted to start off by saying I really appreciate this forum, I have found a lot of great information here.

  • My situation:
I have a workbook with two sheets. Sheet 1 has a list in cell A1. The list is populated with the names in Sheet2!A1:A100.

After selecting a name from the list on Sheet1!A1, the name appears in Sheet1!A2.

In Sheet1!B2 I use =match to determine which row the name was in on Sheet 2.

Sheet1!C2 contains the formula =indirect(D2).

In D2 I have a formula to state the cell I want the indirect reference to display, regarding the name selected in the list, from Sheet 2, using =text("Sheet2!K","")&B2. This shows me the data in Sheet2!K2.

  • My question:
I want to be able to overwrite (or essentially update) the data in cell Sheet2!K2 from either Sheet1!C2 (where it is currently displayed) or a cell below or to the right of Shee1t!C2 (Sheet1!E2, Sheet1!C3, etc.)

:confused: How do I do this?

If you would like to see my sample book please feel free to ask!

  • In other words: How do I create a formula that says: replace all data in cell (insert cell) with data in cell (insert cell).
Thank you all in advance for your kind support. :beerchug:

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
