Hello,

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet for work to track employee check in
times for safety reasons.

What I am looking to do is have an employee open the safety
spreadsheet, and by inputting a tech's employee ID, to have it
automatically plot in his name, pager and manager (that would be linked
from another spreadsheet, the Tech List spreadsheet).

What I would like to know is how feasible/possible is it to create
something like this? I have intermediate/advanced excel skills, but
I'm just alright with formulas. I know I can link info from one book
to another, but what I'd like to do is when I input a tech's ID in
column A of the safety book, the formula searches the Tech List book
for the tech's ID, finds it, then reads the tech's pager, manager and
name from the same row as his ID would be on. How is this done?

Thanks for any help anyone can give, sorry if I haven't been totally
clear, let me know if there is any clarification needed!

Tim
