Creating a sheet to view rows from another sheet
I have a spreadsheet with 3000 rows of data (colums A-S). One row for data
on each contact. Each row contains a cell (field) for a unique Contact Number and one for Contact Name among many other cells. I want to create another worksheet that will have a field that I can enter either the number OR name of the contact and have it get all the info for that contact from the first sheet and display it on this second sheet in different cell locations (all visible on one screen. Thanks for your help. Jon |

How about an alternative?
Apply data|filter|autofilter to your range. Then you can use those dropdown arrows to view the records you want. jonco wrote: I have a spreadsheet with 3000 rows of data (colums A-S).

Creating a sheet to view rows from another sheet
I want this to be as simple as possible for the user (not very computer
savy). I want them to be able to juast type in a number OR name and click ENTER and it will find the correct info automatically and display it on one screen. I don't want them to have to scroll. They do this many times a day looking up customer info and it needs to be as painless as possible. Thanks again. Jon "jonco" wrote in message . net...

Maybe you can teach them to use Edit|Find (or ctrl-f)

The Vlookup() function is what you can use on a separate sheet.
