    Search function across multiple work sheets

    Hi all,

    I have 6 worksheets with data. Column C of every worksheet is filled with unique Tracking Numbers.

    I want to create a 7th worksheet with a search function. Users will be able to type in a Tracking Number (on cell A2), and information associated with that Tracking Number (from Columns A, D, E, F and G of worksheets 1-6) will show up beneath cell A2 on cells A4, B4, C4, D4, and E4.

    Is this doable?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    It's doable off one sheet, but not sure about 6.
    Hope this helps

    Sometimes its best to start at the beginning and learn VBA & Excel.

    Please dont ask me to do your work for you, I learnt from Reading books, Recording, F1 and Google and like having all of this knowledge in my head for the next time i wish to do it, or wish to tweak it.

    Re: Search function across multiple work sheets

    So I tried this:

    =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B6,'Chief Executive Office Group'!C1:G300,2,0)),IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B6,'Operations Group'!C1:G300,2,0)),VLOOKUP(B6,'Service Delivery Group'!C1:G300,2,0),VLOOKUP(B6,'Operations Group'!C1:G300,2,0)),VLOOKUP(B6,'Chief Executive Office Group'!C1:G300,2,0))

    Which lets me look up across three worksheets.

    I don't truly understand the If and ISNA functions and am not sure how to turn this formula to work for 6 worksheets instead of just 3.
