    Populate summary table with values from various worksheets

    I have a workbook with several work sheets. Some worksheets have a project specific table listing materials on order, projected delivery dates, cost, vendor, and purchase order number for that specific project. Not all rows will have a purchase order number. I have a summary worksheet that I want to pull data from the project specific work sheets. I would like the summary table to populate it's rows with the data from the project work sheets, but only the rows that have a PO number. PO number is in the right most column. I do not want the rows without a PO number to be displayed in the summary table.

    I have messed around with Vlookup, index match, and a couple other functions but cannot get them to behave the way I would like. Any suggestions for other formulas to try?

    summary table headings, starting in column C:
    Item / PO Number / Cost / Vendor / Delivery


    Project specific table headings starting in column C:
    Item / Lead Time / Delivery / Cost/ Ordered / Vendor / PO Number

    In general VLOOKUPs work well with data to the right of your lookup value and index match for data to the left. Without better information it is hard to tell what your issue is. Post a sample if you can.

    Re: Populate summary table with values from various worksheets

    Here is a sample (pics and direct link to sample sheet on dropbox)

    A stated in the original post I am looking to have the sheet in the first pic auto populate when an item is entered in the other two sheets, but only if it has a PO number (4501******). All PO numbers will start with a 4501 and the following 6 will be different for each item. the PO column can move, it doesn't need to be on the right side, I think I am going to try moving it to the furthest left column and try using vlookup again. Thanks!

    Re: Populate summary table with values from various worksheets

    Ok, here is a general guide. First I would say to get more specific help you should post a sample workbook with no confidential data because nobody wants to retype your data. To do that use the "go advanced" button at the bottom of the post box and follow the prompts.
    Now having said that, if you use an index/match you can apply an iferror to that to return as blank if the PO number isn't found in your other sheets. So if your PO number is the consistent item between sheets, using your summary of purchase order sheet as a foundation and the jpg 14284 as a guide in cell C5, =iferror(index(14284!G:G,match(C5,14284!H:H,0)),"") should return the vendor for your PO number from the sheet you seem to have labeled as 14284. If it doesn't find the PO number it should return a blank. You can follow the same principles for other values to lookup. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for your help Sambo Kid. I didn't know about the sample workbook through the go advanced option, I'll be sure to use that next time.
