Hello,

I need to copy formulas and data from a selection of cells in a worksheet (Figures) onto a seperate sheet (summary).

I would like the information to automatically copy across to the sheet (summary) as i type on the original page (Figures).

I would like the information to ONLY be copied if a certain cell within the orginal sheet has a specific word 'text'.

Is there a way of producing this data?

Many Thanks

Dani

Think that suit to your purpose:

Copy in the cell where you want your text to be automatically updated:

=IF(FIND("Text",'Figures'!B20)<>0,'Figures'!A20,"")

This will copy the text of the cell A20 of your Figures sheet in the cell where you paste the formula, only if the cell B20 of your Figures sheet contains the text "Text".

Cheers
