    Hi @artrubio<\/a> <\/p>

    I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>

    Here's one way you can do it.<\/p>

    You could use cross-sheet formulas combined with either a VLOOKUP or INDEX\/MATCH<\/strong> structure to connect the sheets, and when you update the source sheet, it will reflect on the destination sheet.<\/p>

    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.<\/strong><\/p>

    Would that work\/help? <\/p>

    I hope that helps!<\/p>

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!<\/p>

    Best,<\/p>
