how do I populate a cell with data from another worksheet,
I have two worksheets, both with similar data. Say columns are Acc No, Acc
Name and VAT number. Unfortunately the VAT number does not correspond on each worksheet. How can I populate 1 worksheet with the VAT number so that the data is collected on one worksheet? I have tried VLookup, but I'm not really conversant with it so would appreciate any help. Many thanks Denise |

Hi Denise
You don't say which one is correct so you will have to change the formula as appropriate. I would be inclined to make a brand new Sheet, leaving all of the other data intact. First, mark the range of column A that is populated on Sheet1Copy go to cell A1 of your new sheet, Sheet3 and in cell A1 Paste On Sheet3 enter B1=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$1000,2,0) this will give the Account Name C1=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$1000,3,0) this will give the VAT number I have assumed rows 1 to 1000 are filled, change as appropriate. Change reference to Sheet2 if required Regards Roger Govier deniseh wrote: I have two worksheets, both with similar data. Say columns are Acc No, Acc Name and VAT number.

Hi Denise
You don't say in what way the reply I posted didn't work. Can you give a little more information? Regards Roger Govier deniseh wrote: "deniseh" wrote: I have two worksheets, both with similar data.
