Default Cell Referencing

A simplified version of what I am doing follows:
Sheet 1 is a database
Column 1 is a unique item no
Column 2 is a date
Column 3 is a monetary value
Column 4 is a monetary value
Column 5 is a Total of 3 & 4
Each Row is a new record identified by the unique item no in in column 1

Sheet 2 is a lookup sheet
When I enter the item no it will look up sheet 1 and provide a "pretty
version" of info.

Column 4 Sheet 1 values require regular updating eg.
Currently reads: Col 3...$100, Col 4...$150, Col 5... $250 (Sum of 3 &4)

I now want to update Col 4 Sheet 1 to $175 by entering this onto a field on
Sheet 2 (Lookup Sheet).

I hope this clarifies.

thanks,


Ron.

It sounds as if you want multiple vlookups.

I am working on a workshheet that looks up values from a different worksheet
within same workbook, containing approx 1000 records which is used as a
database.
There is a field which requires updating on the database and I want to be
able to update it from my lookup sheet.
The cell to be updated has a constant column #(Say Column D ) but the row
number is variable based upon which record is being looked up at the time.
My ideal solution is a macro that will pick up the cells were I can manually
type the new value on the lookup sheet and place it into the database in
column "D" Row "...".
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
