Hi Chip,
My guess is that you want to use VLOOKUP Worksheet Function\ http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/vlookup.htm and since your name is Chip perhaps also Lookups (Chip Pearson) http://www.cpearson.com/excel/lookups.htm#ClosestMatch --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "chip_pyp" wrote in message ... basically the formual would look like ='[workbook name.xls]spredsheet'!then the on the sheet you are looking for with $in front of the letter and $in front of the number i.e. ='[Test 2006 Report .xls]Test 1'!$A$42 "Shae" wrote: I wanted to know how to cross reference 2 different speadsheets to look for similar or matching information. |
