VLOOKUP function could be what you need.
You need a lookup range of at least two columns and a cell for "what" to
lookup.
Visit Debra Dalgleish's site for info on VLOOKUP function to pull data based
on value. Note the downloadable sample workbooks.

I have worksheet that has certain information about our manufacturing
operation. I have another worksheet where I would like to extract certain
data from the first worksheet based on entering one key piece of data from
the first worksheet into the second. The first worksheet contains a list of
molds by ID number, and the critical dimensions of these molds. In my
production schedule, I would like to input the mold ID number and have
certain critical dimensions be automatically populated.
