Default Can you move the row information by just using one numbered cell?

Look at the VLOOKUP function, using the ID number as your lookup parameter

If A5 contains the Shipment Number on your printable sheet

=VLOOKUP(A5,Sheet1!A:E,2,0) will return value in Column B fRom Sheet1 (# of
boxes)

=VLOOKUP(A5,Sheet1!A:E,3,0) will return value in Column C from Sheet1 (date
of order)

What I was wondering is if it was possible to tranfer all the row data on to
a printable sheet with boxes using just the I.D. number from the orignal
database. ie. taking the information from the database below and by typing
"213" (the ID number) into a new printable sheet (basic example below) it
will take all the row information with it, so that i can take any shipment
number type it in and print off a delivery note, but only have one
interchangable printable sheet?

DATABASE

A B C D
E
1 213 23 24.02.05 DAVE 13.50
2 214 15 16.04.07 BILL

PRINTABLE SHEET

Date of order 24.02.05

Thanks.
