Hello everyone,
I've never attempted to this before but in my workbook I have 2 active worksheets I use. In Sheet1 I have a name in one column and a value in another column. What I would like to be able to do in sheet2 is whenever I enter a value that matches what is in sheet 1, I want the name in that row to be automatically inserted next to my value in sheet 2.
Thank you for your time!
Hi superboy,
It seems like what you need is the VLOOKUP function. Here is a spreadsheet showing you how.
Hope this helps.

It works, but what if my value entered in the second sheet is part of a bigger text I pasted in that cell. How can I get VLOOKUP to still bring up the corresponding data.
This might help:
Example: If the value is "101_Test_55_12"
LEFT: This will look for "101"
Formula:

I'm sorry I should have been more specific. Below is what I usually paste in my cell
123-1234567-1234567
HDTelevision
QTY: 1 ASIN: B0045678 SKU: AI-V1AA-BCDE9
I VLookUp to look at the value after SKU, specifically "A1-V1AA-BCDE9
This formula should extract "A1-V1AA-BCDE9" from "QTY: 1 ASIN: B0045678 SKU: AI-V1AA-BCDE9"

Make sure to copy the formula down in to all cells.
Thank you. It works.
