Default informations search


I am interested in setting up a spread sheet that will search a second
and third sheet for information entered on sheet 1.

Is it possible to make excel do this.

Without more detail it sounds like a job for the vlookup function.

I'd either read about it in excel's help or visit Debra Dalgleish's site:
