Hi, but if viewers select A1 cell they are able to see the path for the original sheet with all tabs no?

Hello, When I did this I had formatting that didn't transfer. Is there no way to do that?
I had drop down tabs I wanted to share with my boss so she could change them if needed but none of the tabs transferred to the new doc.

This doesn't seem to want to work with conditionally formatting ranges. Is this the issue, or am I doing something else wrong?

Hello,

your step by step manual is great. But I have problem with updating. When I insert formula, everything is copied. But after adding new data, formual is not updating.

I read on internet, that if Owners of both documents are different, formula doesnt work. Is it truth and what is solution for this issue?

Thank you

Teresa

Hello,Teresa,
When you insert new data in original sheet, you should change the cell reference in the new created formula sheet.
such as, change the following cell references:
=IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Plv5B3v3VfPtdWSJ4zFM6DKPY0MhcCxiYS0vYrxORHE/edit#gid=1482359313","kte data!A1:C18")

=IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Plv5B3v3VfPtdWSJ4zFM6DKPY0MhcCxiYS0vYrxORHE/edit#gid=1482359313","kte data!A1:Z1000")
After changing the cell references, your new sheet will be updated automatically.
Please try it, hope it can help you！Thank you!

Hi

What is to stop Editors of the second spreadsheet file changing the IMPORTRANGE range to include other (hidden) data?

I do the opposite, I work on the copy, where I can have data calculated that only I see (because it's not in the original sheet)
