    Lightbulb Search and input in sheets

    I have tried, looked & asked everywhere and can't figure this out. I will try to explain.

    I have a wookbook with 6 sheets I need to do the following:

    Input a # on sheet 1 in cell A 32 - then I need to have excel search sheet 6 colums A1 - A30 for that # then input the description from column C, Row ? (the row would be where excel found the #) and input it in B 32 on sheet 1.

    I would then like to do the same thing for A 33 etc.


    I really hope this can be done - will cut so much time of my workload.

    Thanks in advanced

    see VLOOKUP function in XL Help, ie:

    Sheet1!A32: =VLOOKUP(A32,Sheet6!A1:C30,3,0)
