Hello from Steved

I have a file named Bus.xls
In it I have Values in Col A, B, C ,D

In a file Named Reports.xls I have information in Col A

ok in Col A in Bus.xls I have a value "B0101"
ok in Col A in Reports.xls I have a value "B0101"
What Formula would I use to lookup B0101 in Bus.xls to put
the information in Col B,C,D. of reports.xls Please.

Thankyou.

Hello from Steved

My attempt is below is their a index and match I can use to do the same.

=IF($A$1="","",VLOOKUP(A:A,BusType!A:D,2,0))
=IF($A$1="","",VLOOKUP(A:A,BusType!A:D,3,0))
=IF($A$1="","",VLOOKUP(A:A,BusType!A:D,4,0))

Try putting this formula into cell B1 of reports.xls ...

=INDEX([bus.xls]SHEET!B:B,MATCH($A1,[bus.xls]SHEET!$A:$A,0))

For columns C & D, you can just copy the formula across.
You can then copy down as many rows as you need.

Hi Steve,
Close but you have a few changes to make:

For Column B
B1: =VLOOKUP($A1,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(B1),0)
B2: =VLOOKUP($A2,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(B2),0)
B3: =VLOOKUP($A3,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(B3),0)
B4: =VLOOKUP($A4,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(B4),0)
B5: =VLOOKUP($A5,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(B5),0)
B6: =VLOOKUP($A6,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(B6),0)

For Column C
C1: =VLOOKUP($A1,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(C1),0)
C2: =VLOOKUP($A2,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(C2),0)
C3: =VLOOKUP($A3,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(C3),0)
C4: =VLOOKUP($A4,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(C4),0)
C5: =VLOOKUP($A5,BusType!$A$1:$F$200,COLUMN(C5),0)

All you need is the formula in B1 and use the fill handle
to generate the others

You can use a defined name table instead of having the
range specified in the formula, look bak at

Thankyou.

I see you already got a working solution from Scott, I didn't look back at your
original question where it appears that your are referring to
workbooks as if they are worksheets.

Thanks David Both of you have been off great assistance.

Thankyou.
