You can use an incrementer for the column index param in the vlookup to
facilitate easy copying across from the point formula cell, eg:
COLUMNS($A:A)+1
Something along these lines, based on your descript, should work fine
In sheet: B,
Put in B2:
=VLOOKUP($A2,A!$A:$G,COLUMNS($A:A)+1,0)
Copy B2 to G2, fill down as far as required
And if you need an error trap to return blanks: ""
for any unmatched cases, put this instead in B2:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2,A!$A:$G,COLUMNS($A:A)+1,0))," ",VLOOKUP($A2,A!$A:$G,COLUMNS($A:A)+1,0))

I have worksheet A with 5 columns of information and 10 rows.
I have worksheet B with just one column of information and multiple rows.
Column A in both worksheets are codes.
I want to do a function that will look at col A, find the match to it on
worksheet B and then return columns B-G on the same line that it matched
column A on.
I know this sounds fuzzy but I can return one value (i.e. column B2, but not
columns b2 through 6g
Any help would be terrific. I tried to use the vlookup function but got
messed up when I went to reference columns b through g.
Thank you!
