To avoid the confusion over which column the formula goes into, you
can use COLUMN(B1) for the first formula. Also, H2 needs to be fixed,
so I suggest using:

=VLOOKUP($H2,'[- Master.xls]Pricing'!$A$2:$G$4611,COLUMN(B2),0)

Put this in I2 and then copy across - the B2 becomes C2, D2, E2 etc,
which returns 2, 3, 4, 5 etc through the COLUMN function.

Hope this helps.

I=column 9
B=column 2
9-7=2

You get an error because it tries to retrieve data from column I in your
Master w/sheet when you only specified 7 columns.(A:G)

Read my first reply again!

[If data from B (2) is going to column D(4) then use COLUMN()-2 i.e 4-2
=2. ]

Replace the 2 with COLUMN() or Column()-n

If data from B (2) is going to column D(4) then use COLUMN()-2 i.e 4-2 =2.
just copy across.

I have two worksheets and I can pull the ColB column of data over to where I
want it with vlookup but how can I then get columns C thru G over to my
worksheet? I am trying to pull forecasted prices for the same row of
information. Here is my current function formula: =VLOOKUP(H2,'[-
Master.xls]Pricing'!$A$2:$G$4611,2,FALSE) It would be nice to have the 2
change to a three when I drag the formula to the right. And then drag again
and have the 3 change to a 4, etc. Or what is the answer. Thanks in
advance. The sheet I am pulling data from looks somewhat like this:

ColA ColB ColC ColD ColE ColF ColG
Part Number Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4 Year5 Year6
XXXX1111 $1.00 $1.25 $1.50 $1.75 $2.00 $2.25- Hide quoted text -
