Making a master sheet

Hi All,

I have 3 sheets with similar data on each one, divided by location. I want
to make a master sheet (the 4th sheet) that combines all the information on
the first three. I've designed the template already, but I'm having a
problem copying the cells from each individual sheet. I want the master
sheet to automatically display any changes made to any of the original three.
When I use the "=", the master sheet displays a '0' if the cell on the
original sheet is blank. I want an exact copy of what is on the original
sheet; if the cell is blank on the original, I want it blank on the master.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try =IF(ISBLANK(Sheet!A1);"";Sheet!A1) ajust to fit.

This solves most of my problems, but if I wanted to be really lazy and copy
the formatting over (such as font size, and text or background color) the =IF
won't do it. Is there any formula that willl solve this problem?

Thanks!

Just a trailer thought .. If it's neatly grooved in your master sheet, you
could try recording a macro to copy n paste special as formats from each of
the range within the 3 child sheets onto the corresponding range in the
master sheet.
