    Question Scanning barcodes not bringing up corresponding data in the table

    Hi... I have found this site very helpful, so I signed up.

    I just need help to get my data table to respond with the correct CODE for the relevant BARCODE in my sheet.
    But it only does it if the BARCODE is scanned in the same line as the table ?
    That doesn't help me. When I scan a barcode , I need the adjacent cell to display the CODE for that barcode no matter where it is scanned in clolumn E. I hope I am making sense. Please assist.

    Screenshot HERE

    Thanks

    Sorry can you attach a sample sheet showing what you are trying to do, that screenshot is blocked.

    Are you trying to get the barcode details from a lookuptable?
    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: Scanning barcodes not bringing up corresponding data in the table

    What you were doing was correct, in a way, it was an array formula, ready your book 1st though :o) As you hadnt committed it properly it was only checking the top line. Good way to think about formulas the way you did though, keep that in the back of your mind, that is the way they work better, so a common Qty x Price = Total for 10 rows, would be ={((a1:10)*(b1:10))} Excel only reads that as one formula, so using that will make your workbook open and recalc faster, but read your book first.

    Sorry if ive confused you, you just seem to have a good inituative way with arrays.

    Great... I am able to scan a whole box of different items now , without having to lay them out on a table in groups first.
