Default Formula help--Vlookup?

Hi Becky

OK.
Then on sheet1, in cell B2 enter
=INDEX(Sheet2!$C:$C,MATCH("*"&B2,Sheet2!$B:$B,0))
and then copy down

I guess I am not fully understanding where to put your formula to pull
correctly.

This is on 1st worksheet:
115-680G
nb formula (need Item# from 2nd worksheet)
3m formula (need Item# from 2nd worksheet)
6m formula (need Item# from 2nd worksheet)
9m formula (need Item# from 2nd worksheet)


This information is on the 2nd worksheet, each header a separate column:

Style# Item Description Item #
115-680G TRY FOOTSI SNP GREEN NB 02339660-9
115-680G TRY FOOTSI SNP GREEN 3M 02339661-7
115-680G TRY FOOTSI SNP GREEN 6M 02339662-5
115-680G TRY FOOTSI SNP GREEN 9M 02339663-3

Hi Becky

I put the values nb, 3m etc in G1:G4, then used this formula in H1

=INDEX($C:$C,MATCH("*"&G1,$B:$B,0))
and copy down

This is the data to search for in the formulas (each is a different column):

Style# Item Description Item #
115-680G TRY FOOTSI SNP GREEN NB 02339660-9
115-680G TRY FOOTSI SNP GREEN 3M 02339661-7
115-680G TRY FOOTSI SNP GREEN 6M 02339662-5
115-680G TRY FOOTSI SNP GREEN 9M 02339663-3


This is where I need it to go (this is where I put the formulas):

115-680G
nb (Item#)
3m (Item#)
6m (Item#)
9m (Item#)

I need help wrinting a formula for the below.

Sheet 1
A1=Style Number
B1=Size (text value)
C1=part number (formula result)

Sheet2 contains the data.
There are multiple entries of the style number (A1) on sheet 2. The size is
actually part of the TEXT description of that style. I need the formula to
give me the part number of that Size in that Style number.

Is there a way to write the formula to look for the Style number, then look
in that description for the text value and when they match, give me the part
number 1 column over?
