Hi

I need to enter a reference number in one cell & then this to bring up
info
in corresponding cells.
Example:

If I enter 1234 in any cell in column A I want "a name" to appear in
corresponding cell in column D, "a location" in corresponding cell in
column
J & "a deptartment" in corresponding cell in column L.

Thanks
