Export library to excel
Is it possible to export my library to excel, sorted by tag and first author? I would need each tag to be on a separate sheet on excel, sorted by author name, with title and year.
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
I'll follow up this post soon with an example of the formula to achieve this.

To move selected columns to new tabs use
=VLOOKUP(lookup value,table range, column number, false)
--be sure to use absolute references for your table range or (perhaps better) create "name-range" so that you don't get lost.
Conditional styles
The final step where I Compare a list in sheet 1 with a list in sheet 2, identify unique titles in each of the sheets and highlight in different colors the unique titles within each year--
Range: B1:B1048576,B1
Formula: COUNTIF(listA,B1)=0
Apply custom style: cell_colorA
Range: A1:A1048576,A1
Formula: COUNTIF(listB,A1)=0
Apply custom style: cell_colorY
