Product Code and Product Description setup
Hello. I have a worksheet that contains one column for Product codes and the
second coloum contains the product description. How can I set up a system in another worksheet whereby if the product code is entered into one cell, the corresponding product description is automatically entered into the cell next to it? Thank you |

Hi,
Let's say you have the product code in column A starting in row 2 in sheet 1 and the description in column B, then you want in sheet 2 to populate the description when product code is entered in cell A3, so in cell B3 in sheet 2 enter =sumproduct(--(A3=sheet1!$A$1:$A$100),sheet1!$B$1:$B$100) adjust range to fit you needs but remember the range has to be the same in both sides of the formula if you are using excell 2007 use =sumproduct(--(A3=sheet1!A:A),sheet1!B:B) "Nastyashman" wrote: Hello.

I'm not sure if I'm doing it right but it does not appear to be working. I
have Excel 2003. Apparently this has something to do with the 'Lookup' function. I'm not sure.??
