    search for cell info between 2 sheets

    I have work sheets for different equipment that I need to find matching part numbers on if they exist. What I need to do is use information on sheet 1 cell c3 and search sheet 2 collum c to see if that information exist. This will then be repeated for each cell in sheet 1 collum c. If the information exist I then need to know where it is.

    Thanks

    Hi ROCKCHOPPER,
    Search the forum for "Vlookup"

    Maybe this example can help
    http://www.excelforum.com/attachment...her-sheets.zip


    Place this formula in D3 and drag the formula down
    =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(C3,'Sheet1 (2)'!$C$3:$H$176,2,0)),"No Part Exists",VLOOKUP(C3,'Sheet1 (2)'!$C$3:$H$176,2,0))

    That seems to work. Thanks a lot. The only thing I need is to be told the location of the line that was found. I need sheet and row if possible. Is there a way to make this search up to 5 sheets. Hope I'm not asking to much! Thanks

    Now is it possible to copy the information without copying the formulas? I need to transfer the results of the VLOOKUP on a different excel.

    You can copy the range and then paste special values, this will just paste the values and not the formulas...
