User 02/10/2018 - 07:09

User 02/10/2018 - 07:09
AL/AM
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:09
Hmm, I can see that.
User 02/10/2018 - 07:10
I want to put those in all the tabs exactly like this without messing up any other formulas in tabs ZD-Zorba, ZE-Zorba, ZB-Zorba, Other-Zorba, ATP-Zorba, ZC-Fines, ZB-Fines, Other-Fines, ATP-Fines, ATP
User 02/10/2018 - 07:10
just adding twitch irony 5322 to ZD-Zorba, etc
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:12
You mean you want to insert new columns to these tabs? Just like the AL/AM column of ZC-Zobra tab?
User 02/10/2018 - 07:13
yes and put the formulas in just like AL6 and AM6
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:13

Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:25

User 02/10/2018 - 07:26
ok so sorry
User 02/10/2018 - 07:27
so AL6 from ZD-Zorba
User 02/10/2018 - 07:27
should be Jan-ZD
User 02/10/2018 - 07:27
I can change it, not a big deal
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:27
Okay.
User 02/10/2018 - 07:28
does that make sense?
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:28
I'm sorry not really. I have just copied the formula as instructed from the ZD-Zorba tab and pasted on other tab.
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:29
Sorry from ZC-Zorba
User 02/10/2018 - 07:29
yeah, but do you see other tabs are different names?
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:30
Yeah.
User 02/10/2018 - 07:30
it should follow what the name is
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:30
But I'm not sure what is it you are trying to say.
User 02/10/2018 - 07:30
ok look at Pennies 5375 in ZC Zorba
User 02/10/2018 - 07:30
look at the formulas
User 02/10/2018 - 07:30
then go to ZD-Zorba
User 02/10/2018 - 07:31
Pennies 5375
User 02/10/2018 - 07:31
do you see the difference in the formula
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:31
So you are saying each sheets formula should be different?
User 02/10/2018 - 07:32
yes
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:32
Oh okay. I didn't have that information earlier.
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:32
I will make the amendments.
User 02/10/2018 - 07:32
ok, you sure?
User 02/10/2018 - 07:33
I would look at what the Pennies 5375 say
User 02/10/2018 - 07:33
and it's almost identical
Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:33
Hmm, I got the point.
User 02/10/2018 - 07:33
ok

Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:40

Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:45
Sorry, that I missed.
User 02/10/2018 - 07:45

User 02/10/2018 - 07:45

Excelchat Expert 02/10/2018 - 07:45
But it was not included in ZD-Zorba, ZE-Zorba, ZB-Zorba, Other-Zorba, ATP-Zorba, ZC-Fines, ZB-Fines, Other-Fines, ATP-Fines, ATP
