Hello all, this is my first time of using this - so, hopefully someone can
help.

I am looking to do the following:

I have a part number - for instance 12345

I have a number of open purchase orders for that part - which are all listed
on a rather large file with a number of other open purchase orders.

What I want to do is take all the open purchase orders for that particular
part and 'pull' them into another file. I would do this by looking up the
part number and pulling each induvidual line item of information into another
worksheet.

Vlookup only takes the first value it gets to - how can I make it take the
1st, 2nd, 3rd lines of information?

Thanks for your help.

Use DataFilterAutoFilter or Advanced Filter

How will filter work, when the information is in one sheet and I want to
pull it into another?

I am doing this for 100+ parts, with 700+ purchase orders.

I want to see each part's purchase orders below the part - without
having to copy and paste each block of data from the source sheet into
induvidual part sheets.

Assign a name to your purchase orders data (say: "orders")

Then you can use it (as =orders) in the source range of an advanced filter

Criteria range must specify data label ("order_no") in first row, and
desired value (say 1234) in second row

Tick "Copy to another destination"

Destination range must include desired column headers

Ardus - thanks for your help, however that isn't working. Either I am
doing something wrong or I've not explained it correctly.

What I am attempting is:

Sheet 1

Cell A1 = part number 12345

Sheet 2

Column A = various part numbers (several hundred)
Column B = PO number
Column C = PO quantity
Column D = PO due date
Column E = PO required date
Column F = PO actions
Column G = Supplier name

What I want to do is take the PO’s on sheet 2 that belong to part
number 12345 and bring them into sheet 1 in a table that looks at the
part number and pulls all the data that appears in columns B to G for
that part.

Some parts will have one PO – others could have dozens.

Does your idea still work? Or is there another solution?

(also just a note - I am doing this on a spreadsheet with 100+ tabs, 1
per part number and several hundred PO's. Therefore you can see why I
am attempting this)

Cheers.

In order to be able to use DataFilter, you need to have column headers
above your data

Sheet1:
-----------
A1 = "part_no"
A2 = 12345

Sheet2:
-----------
A1 = "part_no"
A2 thru A999: your part numbers

B1 = "PO_no"
B2 thru B999: your PO no's

etc...

sheet increasing the column numbers upward as you go actoss until you fill
alll coluns as required
