    VLOOKUP Enter an item number get product title, price etc. from multiple spreadsheets,how?

    Hi everybody

    I need some help.

    I have a list of items and I want a function which fills in price and such after I enter an item number. I think that vlookup should do the trick, but I don't know how to use it properly.
    Any advice?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think this is what you want, just copy it across and down...
    =INDEX(Folder!B:B,MATCH(TEXT($B5,"0"),Folder!$A:$A,0))

    Note that your Item "numbers" in both Folder and Writing, are actually text that just looks like a number. If they were real numbers, then that could be shortened to...
    =INDEX(Folder!B:B,MATCH($B5,Folder!$A:$A,0))
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    @FDibbins
    thank you for your reply, but unfortunately this doesn't solve my problem. I need the information from multiple spreadsheets and not just one. Your suggestion works with only one spreadsheet as the source. Can you expand it so that it works with multiple spreadsheets? How can the matrix be made (in my example) across 'Folder' and 'Writing utensils'?
    And the item numbers are formatted as text, because I need them to allow zeroes before any other figure is entered(000123 or whatever)
