    IF THEN? Auto populate a cell based on the contents of an adjacent cell - Emp # = Emp Name

    I would like to be able to enter an employee's identification number in Cell A1 and have the corresponding name automatically populate Cell B1. I would like to maintain a list on a separate workbook. Thanks

    You need INDEX & MATCH function.
