Welcome to the forum.

You will need to use XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH.

If you want specific help, please provide data.

There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook. Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

Administrative Note:

Is your forum profile showing the version of Excel that you need this to work for? 2020 is just a release number ...

Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the version of Office (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this.

The three most recent versions of Excel are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the release number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2211). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

Thanks.

I asked you please to update your forum profile - do this NOW.

Thank you for the workbooks - there was no need for you to rfepeat the requirements.

Will both workbooks be open, or do you need this to work also when one or other of them is closed?

[AyshaMohammad]

Sure i will update my profile soon and both will be open,
