Hi,
After spending the best part of 2 hours trying to solve this with excel online help i have given up and require expert advice
I have two worksheets in the same spreadsheet.
The first is a master catalog which has three columns:
Part No
Description
Bin
The next worksheet displays a large selection of items out of the master catalog but only displays the following:
Part No
Description
My problems is that i can't figure out how to include the Bin location information from the master catalog for every entry on the other worksheet.
I.E. If Part Number = Part Number in master catalog then display bin number of that row.
This is probably an easy fix but it's a bit beyond my capabilites i'm ashamed to admit. Conditional formatting is about my limit lol
Thanks in advance
Avdo

With
On the Master sheet
Col_A contains Part No
Col_B contains Description
Col_C contains Bin
(Row_1 contains headings)
and
on the second sheet
Col_A contains Part No (already listed)
Col_B contains Description (already listed)
Col_C contains Bin (these need to be filled in)
(Row_1 contains headings)
This formula returns the BIN value associated with the Col_A Part No:
Copy that formula down as far as you need.C2: =VLOOKUP(A2,Master!$A$2:$C$100,3,0)
Is that something you can work with?
Thank you Ron, it worked perfectly. I was on the right track with using the VLookup function, but i was not selecting the rows correctly or using the $$ to lock the cells.
I have saved a copy of the spreadsheet as a reference / to play about with in the future.
Many thanks,
Stu
