One worksheet to calulate different items simultaneously

J

John

I have one worksheet (WORKSHEET 1) that I use to calculate the price of a
product.
This worksheet needs manual input from 13 cells to calculate the end result.

Now I want to create a second overview worksheet (WORKSHEET 2) that lists
all the products with their price.

The overview worksheet should look like a table with many rows.
On each row I want to enter the input data. This data is used by WORKSHEET 1
to calculate the price of each product.

WORKSHEET 1 reads the input data from the first row in WORKSHEET 2 and
displays the price in WORKSHEET 2
Then it reads the input data from the second row in WORKSHEET 2 and displays
the price in WORKSHEET 2
etc. etc.

Anybody go a clue on how to do this?

What you need is the Data>Table command; this does exactly what you require,
albeit in one sheet. But of course you can copy the table to another sheet.
Take some time to read HELP; some people find the instructions not too
straightforward.
Post again in this thread if you still have problems.

Hi Niek,

This works, but only for one or two different input variables.
What if I have more variables, like in my case 13?

You need only one variable: the line number in your table with input
"records"
Just extract all the variables from a table with the line number as INDEX().

It works for as many as you require, as long as they fit on one worksheet.
In your case, don't try to use a two-dimensioned table, just use a
one-dimensioned one.
Each line of input is one row of "food" for the formulas in your worksheet,
and generates one or more answers on that same row.
