Using the VLOOKUP feature.
Hi Tricia,
With the Drawing# to look up in D1:
=VLOOKUP(D1,$A$2:$C$5,3,FALSE)
With the Part# in D2:
=VLOOKUP(D2,$B$2:$C$5,2,FALSE)
I assumed your data with a header in A2:C5

| I've read a couple of articles on how to do it, but I still don't quite

| Drawing # Part # Tube #
| 350TT-77A 100587 TUBE 1A
| 350TT-157B 100039 TUBE 1A
| 350TT-157C 104287 TUBE 1A
| 350TT-133A 100048 TUBE 1A
|
| Here is what my spreadsheet looks like. I need to be able to find out what
| tubes drawings and parts are in. I would like to be able to search by either
| the drawing, or the part number. Could somone please tell me how to do this?
