HELP
I have a tracking chart with various drop down menus to select various info
(ie. attendee name, location, date, etc.) I have a seperate worksheet for each month of the year. I then want to design a confirmation/ sign-off sheet in which I want to pull the relevant information for each attendee to the sign off sheet by selecting their name from a drop down menu (or something similar). I've played with the DGet formula and can't get it to work for me... Logically what I want to do is.. Search a range of cells (say A3:E20 on Sheet 1) for criteria say ("My name" on Sheet 1) and then have it transfer that info (the entire row worth - meaning date, location, name etc.) to the assigned cell range on sheet 2. Is this possible? I am in the begining stages, and can easily re-format if that's what it comes to! I would eventually like to add more particulars into the tracking chart such as other parties, issues, schools etc. HELP!!! PLEASE!!! |

HELP
Sounds like a VLOOKUP
So, =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A3:E20,2,0) will return the value from sheet1 column A that matches the value in current sheet cell A2 and return the value from column B. Change the ,2, to ,3, to return value from column C. the ,0 at the end means if you don't find an exact match, give an error message...
