    entering values by comparing two sheets

    Hi,

    First I would like to apologize if this has been answered before but I was unable to find a thread (probably because I was searching wrong)

    I have two spreadsheets that I would like to compare.

    first sheet I generate from my local database and has the following collums:
    A Invoice#
    B PO#

    second sheet sent to me has
    A Invoice
    B PO
    C Order#
    D Acct #

    what I would like to get is a formula in Sheet 1 in the c collumn that will enter the Order number from sheet 2.
    the problem is that they are not in the exact same order so i would need the formula to do a type of search.
    in plain english it would be: find the invoice# from sheet 1 in Sheet 2, and return the order number from Sheet 2 into sheet 1

    I know this is not that hard to do but I am probably overthinking it and just cant get the formula to do what I want.

    Please help!!!

    Thank you

    Try

    In C2 of Sheet1 with invoice number in A2

    =VLOOKUP($A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$D$100,3,0)
