    Move corresponding data after finding matching part number

    Hi all,

    I need help creating a formula to move data on one spreadsheet to another that has a matching part number.

    For example I have two separate spreadsheets one is (Sheet 1) a master list with all customer products, the other is (Sheet 2) for one specific customer. I need to add the product descriptions from each corresponding part from Sheet 2 to Sheet 1. Since I have over 19000 products with 2500 or so missing a description from Sheet 1 I would prefer not to go line by line copy and pasting from one sheet to another and was hoping there is a formula I could use in Sheet 1 to match the part numbers from Sheet 1 to the part numbers in Sheet 2 and then copy the description from Sheet 2 to Sheet 1. I have done something similar with Sumif (=SUMIF(Sheet2!A:A,A2,Sheet2!C:C))to move sales from one sheet to another, but sumif doesn't work with text.



    Please help.

    Hi
    The part numbers in your sheet1 do not exist in sheet 2....
    is this supposed to be like that?

    Hi
    Is the part# unique, or can show few times with different description?

    The part number is unique, and will only show once on the list.

    so why not using a simple vlookup then?

    I have never used vlookup, and am not sure how to type out that formula.

    OK, if you know to use SUMIF , VLOOKUP will be very simple for you.

    B2 and down:
    =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,0)
