Autofill across worksheets
I maintain a list of custom items that are in production. Each item has a sku and an associated description. I am looking for a way to autofill the description when typing in the sku. My thought is to link two worksheets together where one of them would contain a master list of all sku's and their descriptions. This master list is being exported from another application. Currently the sku and description are in separate columns. Also, if there is an alternate way of doing this please let me know. Thanks. -- Apel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apel's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=34992 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=547310 |

Typing in your SKUs in sheet1 cell A1, and working with sheet2 having your
master list and with your SKUs in column A and your descriptions in column B. Type in the following into the cell where you want the desciption returned: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A1:B10,2,0) Regards, Tom "Apel" wrote: I maintain a list of custom items that are in production.

Works like a charm. Thanks. Is there a way for Excel to display an blank cell instead of the #N/A when it cannot find a match? -- Apel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apel's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=34992 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=547310 |

Similar to this. Adjust the cell references to suit. =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(F1,range,3,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(F1, range,3,FALSE)) Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 1 Jun 2006 13:44:02 -0500, Apel wrote: Works like a charm.
