search a string as substring and give adjacent values
 

Hi

I have invoice number (alpha / numeric) in c colum and i like to search in
c column of another sheet, and if found i require values in the adjacent
cells in the same row (found row)
example
inv no (C) INvoice no.in next sheet QTY VALUE
14527 TP/K9920/WPXV-SS-155/15.01.08 8 5400
SS-155 TP/K24/WPS-14527/15.03.08 3 1200

sheet 1 c5 has 14527 and is found in the 100th row of other sheet, so i need
qty 3 & 1200 in other sheet at sheet1 d5 & e5
sheet1 c6 has ss-155 and is found in the 55th row of other sheet, so i need
qty 8 & 5400 at sheet1 d6 & e6

i want function in d & e in sheet1
