Match up names to return a specific value

[Teacher]

Hi All,

I want to be able to automatically copy a value from one sheet to another sheet. For example on the Biology Tab I want the controlled assessment grade in Column K copied to the corresponding students area on the Student View Tab Column C.

Any ideas

Many thanks.

Use the 'VLOOKUP' function

[Teacher]

Many thanks for your reply I have tried VLookup but not sure if I have it right. Also the list is not in ascending alphabetical order so I don't think it will work.

sybntax vlookup:
VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup])
If you choose the last parameter 'FALSE' the sorting order is irrelevant

[Teacher]

Yeah I used False just couldn't work out the other parts

I got this to work:

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A5,'Biology Data'!$A$5:$K$275,10,FALSE),"")

Have a look at row 53 as an example of the results you are seeking.

Thanks for this I just had to change =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A5,'Biology Data'!$A$5:$K$275,10,FALSE),"") to the right column but other than this works a treat
