Find then copy
I'm working off of two worksheets.
Worksheet 1 contains all the data. Worksheets 2 has partial data. I need to use the data (in this case a part number) in cell A1 on worksheet 2 and find the same part number on worksheet 1 and copy the data in the adjacent three cells on worksheet 1 to the cells adjacent to the part number worksheet 2. worksheet 1 A B C D A100 x y z A200 x A300 y A400 A500 x z worksheet 2 A B C D A300 y A400 A500 x z |
Find then copy
I will assume there are 25 rows of data on Sheet1; adjust my formula as
needed In B1 of Sheet 2 enter =VLOOKUP($A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$D$25,COLUMN(),FALSE) Copy across to column D and down as far as needed. Unhappily, because Excel is numerically biased, empty cell on Sheet1 show as 0s on Sheet2 So we need to make it look complicated with =IF(VLOOKUP($A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$D$25,COLUMN(),FALSE) "",VLOOKUP($A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$D$25,COLUMN(),FALSE)," ") best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Vegs" wrote in message ...

That is exactly what the VLOOKUP does, unless by copy you mean you want "x"
not a formula. For that use Copy | Paste Special Values to convert the formulas to values -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Vegs" wrote in message ...

Vegs,
Have you tried using VLOOKUP? I think that would do the trick for you. MG Vegs wrote: I'm working off of two worksheets. Worksheet 1 contains all the data. Worksheets 2 has partial data.

Bernard,
I got it working with the 1st function (zeros for blank cells like you mentioned) so I tried the 2nd function and it is giving me all blanks. =VLOOKUP($A2,'Lead Free Master test.xls'!data,3,FALSE) =IF(VLOOKUP($A2,'Lead Free Master test.xls'!data,4,FALSE)"",VLOOKUP($A2,'Lead Free Master test.xls'!data,4,FALSE),"") Just for the record the initial problem I had was the look up data was in text not numeric and in the second column.
