I'm the first to admit I'm not the best Excel user, so I'm coming to you guys
for help. Here's what I have: Sheet 1, Column E contains a G/L number, like this: 12345-1001 or 12345-0057; the cells are formatted as text. Column G contains the Description of that G/L number (text) and Column M contains a cost (formatted as Accounting w/ 2 decimal places). Here's what I've been asked to do: Create a formula so that the user can (on Sheet 2), type in cell A1 the G/L prefix, which is the first 5 digits of the G/L number (e.g., 12345) and the formula finds all the G/L numbers on Sheet 1 that begin with those 5 characters and copies the information from Column E (the G/L number), Column G (the description) and Column M (the cost). Then, below that, the user will type in the next G/L prefix (ie, 22345) and the formula would find the matches and paste the data, etc. I hope I'm explaining this clearly. I've read so many articles this morning trying to figure out what this formula looks like that I think I'm more confused now than when I started. I'm using Excel 2003. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated! |
