Linking/Automating column of text data in Numbers
I've never used formulas, and I'm just learning to create multiple sheets / tables in a document.
Imagine a spreadsheet with 1,000 rows for various people, who can be classified into different categories: politicians, athletes, artists, etc. Each row includes a cell that holds a text ID for that individual (e.g. john-f-kennedy).
Now suppose I want to create a copy of this sheet that contains only rows featuring people who are politicians. Each row will have additional columns that add more detail, such as the dates they served in office. The John F. Kennedy row in this second sheet will have that same ID cell. However, I'd like to set it up so that, if I change the text ID in sheet #1, it will automatically change it in sheet #2.
But there's one more step. Rather than manually link 1,000 cells, is there a way to convert an entire column of ID's to something that automatically replicates itself when copied into another sheet or table?
For example, suppose sheet 1 includes three rows with the following text ID's:
john-f-kennedy
hugo-chavez
michelangelo
If I duplicate this sheet, these cells will already be automatically linked to sheet 1. So if I change "michelangelo" to "mickey" in sheet 1, it will also change to "mickey" in sheet 2.
In summary, imagine a master sheet with 5,000 rows representing various people. I then create additional sheets or tables that are subsets of this sheet. If I need to change an ID, I don't want to have to manually change it in every sheet. Rather, I would like to instantly program everything in the column named ID in sheet one, so that it is automatically programmed to update when copied into another sheet.
Can this be done?
Thanks.
