Link Cells (Read for more info) -- HELP PLEASE
Ok, this is for more advanced Excel users. Here's the issue.
Lets say I have two sheets in Excel, S1 and S2 respectively. Let's say in S1, if I type a 4-digit number IN COLUMN A, which is actually an ID number for a person, I want their name to automatically appear in COLUMN B from a list in S2. This is how S2's list is set up... A1 has a person's ID #, and B1 has that same persons name. A2 has a different person's ID #, and B2 has that person's name, etc... So when I type the ID # in S1 in column A, it will lookup in S2 and match that person's name with their ID. I know this may be confusing, but I can't think of any way else to word it. Any help will be very appreciated. Looking forward to your comments. Thank you!! |

VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH combo should do it;
