If you ever want to look at just specific products (as long as you have a column that indicates product type) you could just use a Pivot Table to sort by type, then drill into the product specific information. 2. VLOOKUP is the answer for your problem here and would be a snap if all your records were on on sheet, but still doable for your situation. VLOOKUP looks vertically down a spreadsheet and returns a specific field from another sheet when a common cell is found, in this case I would look it up by part number. If you haven't used VLOOKUP before it is probably one of the most useful tools in Excel for merging and compiling data from differnt data sources. Do a search for VLOOKUP on the forum for step by step instructions. HTH, PZan Thanks ill give that a try. -- goodfella ------------------------------------------------------------------------ goodfella's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24405 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=380083 |
