    Copy Cell based on unique value from another sheet from a list

    Hi I hope someone can help me as this is really starting to bother me to the point of me wanting to throw the laptop out the window.

    I have two sheets of data.

    Sheet A contains over 2000 rows of product I stock in a online shop.
    Sheet B Contains over 5000 rows of product that my supplier stocks, including one column that I am desperately after that is not in Sheet A

    In both sheets there is a unique field.

    I want to run a command that will search Sheet B for the unique filed that is in Both Sheets A & B and copy the data from Sheet B and place in a new cell against the unique field in Sheet A.

    I am really hoping for this to be done automatically rather then me manually typing the the data in myself.

    I really hope this makes sense.

    Hi
    in this case you could quite easily use the VLOOKUP function

    Wow wasnt expecting replies this quick. I am a fairly average user of excel. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a post to read that would guide me through the VLOOKUP
