    Question Two spreadsheets, multiple data, need to pull specifics from one to the other

    Test workbook.xlsx


    Hi all, I am new here and I apologize now if I confuse you. I know this should be simple to accomplish but I can't seem to figure it out??

    I have to run two seperate reports out of our system to get all the data I need. Than I must manually go in and add in the missing data from one to the other, while comparing the two worksheets to ensure both show all the same projects.

    I have attached an example and wondering if you could help me figure out how to get the Budget to Actuals worksheet to populate the "date created" in column B from the second worksheet named project date. In one worksheet the project code and description is together in one cell and in the other worksheet it is broken out into two cells. Is there a way to get excel to match up say A5 in Budget to Actuals with A2 in Project Date and then pull the Date per that row into the Budget to Actuals spreadsheet appropriate cell?

    The actual spreadsheet has about 10,0000 projects, also it is a weekly report as billings and expenses incur weekly, so this is something I do on a weekly basis and would like to automate it.

    Hi jmoggio,

    Using the & function and a vloookup, insert the following formula into cell C2 in the Project Date sheet:

    Test workbook results.xlsxThank you for the response, however it did not work, it changed the date that was already there on the project date sheet but did not add the date into the other sheet?

    I uploaded a ss with the results of using the code above.
    I need the dates in that column on that sheet to autopopulate into the column named date created per corresponding project code in the budget to Actuals sheet. Does this make more sense? Sorry I am so frustrated with excel right now.

    This is a code, not a formula. There is a button on sheet project.

    Hi jmoggio,
    Test workbook results.xlsx
    I've updated the file, please see attached.

    I've added a concatenation column in the second tab in column A. this has created a column which matches the data in column A in the first tab. The date are pulled through onto the first tab using a vlookup.

    Hope this helps.
