    Try using a VLOOKUP. For instance, if you have Sheet1 and Sheet2, and Sheet1 has the patients' information, on Sheet2 in B1 (with the patient #'s running down column A), type:

    =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:C,2,0)

    and drag it down.

    Is that a start?

    That did not work. I have been trying different ways of VLOOKUP and either I am just doing it wrong or that is not the way to do what I need to do.

    VLOOKUP is definitely the way to go; you just need to know how to use it.

    Maybe post a copy of your sheet (without any sensitive information) and we can try to help

    Based on the very small amount of information you are giving I would say try the function VLOOKUP. Make sure the last parameter is a zero and lock the lookup range with $.
