Hi Steved,

For vlookup, you need to have a common field which is present both in
Sheet 1 and Sheet 2.

To do ths,arrange your sheets like this.

Sheet 1 - schools database

Column A has an field and Column B , c and D have data. column A could
be student number for Eg

Sheet 2 - Data sort

Enter the student number for which you are going to lookup in column A.

Then in column B(say cell B2) , use this formula

= VLOOKUP(A2,'Schools Database'!A10:D2000, 2, false)

This will return the value in column B of sheet 1 for the same student
number.

To return column C of sheet 1, use

= VLOOKUP(A2,'Schools Database'!A10:D2000, 3, false)

and accordingly.

Thanks

Govind.
