Default Merging data in Worksheets !!!! - Help Please!!!


Hi all,

I am new to this and need some serious help with my working life. Hope
you can help.....please.

I am trying to find a way of looking up values in one worksheet to
populate another...... i.e. if a certain value in column A exists in
one worksheet match it to a value in a particular column in a second
worksheet - then return a corresponding value in another column from
one worksheet to another.

I have attempted this using IF statements between the two worksheets,
however.... the values being looked for are not always present in the
second worksheet. Hence it all falls apart because i'm using specific
rows ( I think).
The formuls I'm using looks something like

=IF(A1=Sheet2!A1,Sheet2!B1,"None")

In this specific task I am try to carry out all values possible exist
in the first worksheet (the one I am try to populate). There will never
be a value I am trying to match in the 2nd worksheet that is not in the
first.


E.g.

All values exist in column A of worksheet trying to populate.

Some of these values may not be present in the second worksheet with
the corresponding value I am trying to merge.

But the second worksheet will never have any additional values that
don't match back to what I am looking for

Hope someone can advise me on what I'm doing wrong
