Populate column based on data in other cells
I am trying to populate "Column E" in "Tab_1" with data from "Tab_2".
These are two tabs in the spreadsheet. Tab_1: - Column C, has a value say 12345a. - Column E is blank. Tab_2: - Column A has a list which contains 12345a - Column B has another value, one for each item in Column A I want Column E in Tab_1 to be populated with the value in Tab_2 Column B where Tab_1:Column C matches Tab_2:Column A. There will be only one match as each value in Tab_2 Column A is unique. Was thinking a Macro could be pasted down Column E in Tab_1 to facilitate this, but wasn't sure how to code it. Any suggestions? Thanks. JR |

Populate column based on data in other cells
In E1: =VLOOKUP(A1,Tab_2!$A$1:$B$100,2)
This will look to find the value found in Tab_1, A1 in Tab_2 range A1 to B100 and return the value it finds in column B in Tab_2.
