auto fill text
I want to be able to have excell look for a company's name and autfill it on
the Purchase order. I have typed the companies names and addresses on the bottom of the worksheet. I have the Purchase Order at the top of the worksheet. I lined up the company name and the blank on the same row "C" but when I type the first few letters it doesnt auto fill for me. So I want to try to do something different so that I dont have to type the complete company name and address each time. |

This is generally done through a VLOOKUP formula.
You have a lookup table in two columns. Column one with a unique identifier and column two with the company name. Type in the identifier number and the company name appears in the cell with the formula. For more on this see Debra Dalglesih's site on VLOOKUP. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlFunctions02.html And perhaps a DV DropDown list to choose the identifier. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlDataVal01.html Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 2 Apr 2007 08:12:02 -0700, cac1966 wrote: I want to be able to have excell look for a company's name and autfill it on the Purchase order.
