I have a master sheet that contains information submitted via a form. I am wanting to have a new sheet that contains only certain columns of information that populate as the data on the master sheet is entered. I only need specific columns of information, not every column in the row on the master sheet. Any ideas on how to do this?
You could use cross-sheet formulas combined with either a VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH structure to connect the sheets, and when you update the source sheet, it will reflect on the destination sheet.
Another option would be to use so-called helper sheets.In short, copy the row to a helper sheet and then use my method described previously to get the values you need to another helper sheet and then copy/move the row from that sheet to the main destination sheet.
To connect them row by row, you'd use an Autonumber Column in the Source sheet and add a so-called helper column to manually add the row id on as many rows as you think you need in the Destination sheet.

Thank you for your response, I have looked into these ideas.
Would a VLOOKUP or INDEX work for taking a whole column when I don't know the length of it (i.e. new rows are added in the source sheet)? I just want to import the whole column with updates but not sure how to set up the formula.
For example, in my master sheet 'Master Sheet' I have columns 'Date/Time', 'Name', 'Location', 'Duration', 'ID' and in my new sheet I just want the 'Date/Time' and 'Name' columns to populate when a submission is made to 'Master Sheet'. I am not sure how to set up the formula to reflect that.
How exactly is your Data Shuttle set up? If it is set to replace everything in the sheet when it runs, it is deleting the cell being referenced by the widget and then putting new data in new cells.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":292,"urlcode":"Dashboards","name":"Dashboards"},{"tagID":474,"urlcode":"data-shuttle","name":"Data Shuttle"}]},{"discussionID":108213,"type":"question","name":"How to spread costs evenly across months, if they fall within those dates","excerpt":"I have various financial line items that span different dates.

You would use the below for Jan 2023 and adjust the month and year numbers accordingly for each of the other months.<\/p>
Basically we are creating a yyyymm stamp from the start and end dates and comparing them to the yyyymm stamp for that year\/month combo. The above is for July 2023 (202307).<\/p>"},{"commentID":387906,"body":"
