Thank you for the response. I was able to get it working with this formula

=VLOOKUP(C13,data!B2:C85,2,FALSE)
vlookup worked great, I just needed to figure out how to get it to reference
data from another tab and move to the proper column in the tab

Try this:


=INDEX(list2,MATCH(B1,list1,0))


Hope this helps.

I need help with a formula. I have two named lists in tab #2. List 1 is a
product part number, list 2 is the part description.


In tab 1 I have data validation set in column B to pull a dropdown with the
values in the part number list . I am trying to figure out to get Column C to
automatically pull the values in the part description based on the value
selected from the part number.


In tab #2 the part number and part description are always on the same row in
adjoining columns.


Any help is greatly appreciated.- Hide quoted text -
