Hi Tom,

Use a =VLOOKUP() formula as follows:

in cell B2 enter =VLOOKUP($A2,'[File1.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$G
$1000,6,FALSE) for CLOSE (it's the 6th column in the lookup table)
in cell C2 enter =VLOOKUP($A2,[File1.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$G$1000,7,FALSE)
for VOLUME (it's the 7th column in the lookup table)
then copy these down for all your stock codes
