I'm trying to develop an excel sheet which enables entry of a numeric product code, say '1134' into say cell 'A1' and then references that entry into a separate worksheet which has a list of product codes from say 1000-1234. The second worksheet has the product codes listed numerically in column A and then has say 6 rows of data extend from each code.

Ideally the macro would enable a product code to be entered into the first sheet and would then automatically enter the row data from the second sheet.

Is this possible?

Put the following event macro in the worksheet code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim t As Range, r As Range, s As String
Set t = Target
Set r = Range("A1")
If Intersect(t, r) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
s = r.Value
Cells.Find(What:=s, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _
xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext,
MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
End Sub

then just typing something in A1 will cause it to be found.

Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
