Vlookup from Access
In excel I need to enter a number into a1 (serial #), return to a2 the
Corresponding data from access table to a2 [Deal Name] and from access to a3 [form #]. Should i use =vlookup(a1,'access table',?) or what? If this makes no sense let me know and I will try again. Trying to follow the rules and make it short and sweet. ANY help would be very appreciated. |

Vlookup from Access
I was going to write this out myself and then I remembered I bookmarked
Dick Kusleika's fantastic tutorial. He says it much better than I could. Start here. This will get you through the steps of hooking up an Access data source for your Excel worksheet: http://www.dicks-clicks.com/excel/ExternalData.htm Then look at this, which is the bit you need to use a field in Excel as a criterion for your Access query: http://www.dicks-clicks.com/excel/Ex...htm#Parameters Do post back if you get stuck!
