I would like to copy cells from one worksheet to other worksheets where a
portion of the value matches.
I have one file with several worksheet tabs.
Example: Dept 1 - Members, Dept 2 - Members...Dept 30 - Members

Sheets 2, 3 ,4 must not be included in formula (I can move them to new file
if needed)

All the sheets only have Data in column A and data starts on row 1

Dept 1 - Members column A looks like this: (abc-username)
abc-smithb
abc-yeltzb
acb-zooa

all the other sheets look like this (username)
smithb
yeltzb
zooa

I need to take the user in column A of Dept 1 - Members sheet and populate
column B where ever his
username appears in all the other sheets (it could be on multiple sheets).

result should look like
Dept 12 - Members sheet

column A Column B

smithb abc-smithb
yeltzb abc-yeltzb
zooa acb-zooa

Dept 14 - Members
smithb abc-smithb
yeltzb abc-yeltzb
zooa acb-zooa

The sheet "Dept 1 - Members" should remove the abc-username from that sheet
only and data be consolidated to
eliminate empty rows. The abc-username should only be removed if a match is
found on another sheet.

Also, I would need to know how to enter the function/script in to excel 2003.

Source list assumed in sheet: Dept 1, within A1:A100, viz:
abc-smithb
abc-yeltzb
etc

In the other dept sheets, eg in: Dept 12,
Paste this into B1's formula bar, then array-enter it,
ie press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula:
=IF(A1="","",INDEX('Dept 1'!A$1:A$100,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A1,'Dept
1'!A$1:A$100)),0)))
Then just copy B1 down as far as required to return the required results

Hi,
thank you for the response. That formula looks like it is working great.
May I ask one more favor. How would I get it to clear the cell from the
source sheet if a match is found?

Hi,
Rather than remove the entry from the source list. I want to change the
font red or some other color. Is that possible?

Thanks for the help.

Welcome. Please press the "Yes" button from where you read this.

Formulas cannot do the above. Try a new post in .programming.
