excel lookup, like access
 

First of all, thank you to everyone in this forum, You have really
helped me out.
And since you guys seem to making my life so much easier, I throw out
another question.

I have to input a ton of data into excel. basically all RMA stuff.
I have to put in...
Item number (unique), desciption, price, quanitity, then a formula
calculates extented price.

I have another excel spreadsheet, taht i have actually just moved onto
another sheet that has all the product id numbers and their description
and price.

is there a way to make a cell a look up cell, kinda like access, where
as i type the item number it will suggest a match, and if i tab over
will take all the info from the other sheet with the item info on it
and input into the appropriate cells.

the layout is pretty much identical between the two spread sheets.

any ideas

Hi Trav:
Did you try doing the Criteria and Selection method that Excel has that kind
of acts like a poor man's/student's Access (those who cannot affort M/S
Office Pro?) It is much too much to get into, but look it up with M/S help
and get back to me if still a problem. Thanks.
Tom
