    Trying to auto-populate based on if one column matches data from another table

    So, I can’t figure out how to make this work.

    I need Column "F" on sheet 2 to show the value of Column "I" on sheet 1 when column "A" on sheet 2 matches column "J" on sheet 1 ; columns "I" and "J" on sheet 1 coincide with different values.

    Something like a combination of the following; sheet2!A:A=sheet1!J:J "then" sheet2!F:F=sheet1!I:I.....

    Just don't know how to write it...

    Sounds like you're looking for an index/match sort of thing. What do you want to happen if the value in A (sheet2) isn't in J (sheet1), "N/A", blank, some other value?

    It is all based on work-center numbers and their hourly billing rate. I really wouldn't need it to specify.

    So assuming that will never happen and you're looking for exact matches

    =INDEX(Sheet1!$I$2:$I$500, MATCH(A2, Sheet1!$J$2:$J$500,0))

    If this isn't working, try attaching a workbook showing what you have (Go Advanced>Manage Attachments)

    Genius! Problem solved! I will be able to edit my exact column values...but that is the formula that I needed.
    Thanks!
