    Autofill cells with information contained in other sheet

    Hi there !

    I'm trying to solve a problem which I guess some of you have already seen many times.

    I have a workbook with two sheets. The first one, let's call it the Main sheet, will be used to keep track of the touring artists of a record label. The second sheet contains a list of show venues with their respective contact info. Here's what the two sheets look like :

    Main sheet

    List of contacts
    listofcontacts.jpg

    What I would like is row D of the Main sheet to autofill, according to the contact information contained in row B of the List of contacts, when I enter a venue name in row C of the Main Sheet.

    Does that make any sense ?

    Thanks a lot and I hope to hear back from you !

    In cell D2 of the Main Sheet enter =VLOOKUP(C2,'List of Contacts'!A:B,2,FALSE) and copy down

    No problem. Happy to help.

    You could also do it with INDEX/MATCH, but the benefits of that would only really kick in if you were looking at VERY large datasets.

    If you're copying the formula down to rows that don't yet have venue data populated I would suggest wrapping the formula in IFERROR to ensure you don't show #N/A errors on those "blank" rows.

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C2,'List of Contacts'!A:B,2,FALSE),"")

    If you're happy you have your solution, please mark the thread as solved.

    BSB.
