Something like Vlookup
Hello again (world),
I have list that I need to return a value in a different spread sheet. A2 is the person I need to locate and then return the data/valued in cells B2, C2, D2 ect. (list is a lot longer and with other names). The spread sheet will have 5 tabs with 5 different names. I want to do some kind of VLookup or other function to run down the list and retune in sequential order. Any thoughts?

I would just use filtering (DATA FILTER AUTO FILTER).

Will, I was hoping not to do a paste and copy. I just want to drop my data in
one tab and it will update the other 5.

I guess what I am saying is, there is no need to create the five sheets to
separate data. Filtering allows you to sort and view how you would like in order to analyze data then it can be put back. It is generally an easier solution, it uses up less space, and it is harder to mess up. I may be misunderstanding what you are looking for, but when you start replicating data it makes things hard. -- JNW "pgarcia" wrote: Will, I was hoping not to do a paste and copy.

a different idea:
use pivot table. create a povottable how you want. put the person's name selection in the page field. copy the pivto table to 5 tabs. select a different name in each tab. -- Allllen "JNW" wrote: I guess what I am saying is, there is no need to create the five sheets to separate data.

Thanks for your reply, but that's not what I was looking for. These tabs will
be for individual person and now, I give them a list of data they need to work on. I want to create one spread sheet, 5 tabs, 1 tab being the "input" data tab and have the other tabs pickup the information for the individual persons. I tried doing a Vlookup and it working for the first tab first person, but when I when to the 2nd tab 2nd person, the Vlookup did not return the correct information. I pick the right person off the list but it was duplicating the data instead of just listing the it in chronological order. I don't want to sound lazy, I do now the filter list and cut and paste, but I just wanted to do the process faster.

ok but it is a good solution and not too hard to learn
otherwise you need visual basic. that makes the spreadsheet more complicated that using a pivot table -- Allllen "pgarcia" wrote: I don't belive my user would know how to us a povottable.
