I would like to copy information entered from another Google Sheets file but only if it relates to the information in the new file.
For example, MR SMITH's employee number is entered into one sheet and we need it in another sheet but don't want to have to type it in, how would we do it?The new file contains data of items that need to be ordered for that employee but cannot be without the employee number. Unfortunately, the people accessing this file cannot have access to the other file as it contains information they cannot see.
I can use IMPORTRANGE to get information for an entire row/column but cannot seem to transfer just the required information into the cells it refers to.
The challenge is that the information could be anywhere in the document as the list of employees changes and the data moves up or down the document.I also only want the employee numbers to transfer that match the names of them in the new file.
