Hi,

I have a sheet where columns A-D are given, sorted ascending to col A.
I have data in another sheet A and B where col A *may* match a value in
sheet 1,col A. I need to do this for sheets that may contain up to
3000 rows. The rows may or may not contain the same numbers of rows.
I need to match if possible the BarCd located in sheet 2 and bring
along the Location column with it and place it in the same row as the
matching value in sheet 1.


Thanks in advance :)

Ray

Ray,

On sheet1, in cell E2:

=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,False)

or, if you don;t want to see the missing matches as errors:

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,False)),"",VLO OKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,False))

Copy down to match your columns, and you're done.
