    Populating Information from two cells into one cell on another tab

    Hello... Im trying to set up something where once the serial # is typed in on the second sheet..it populates all the information from the table that is on sheet 1.. However there are two columns that one may have a value but the other doesnt..either way one or the other will have a value..never both..I want to be able to put that information from sheet 1 onto one column on sheet 2.

    So once i punch in a serial number I want it to populate the RMA# either from Column RMA# First or if not a value there then populate from RMA# Second onto one column on my other table along with Type, Part #, Description, etc..

    Table 1
    Table 1.png

    Table 2 this is where they'll type serial # and it will populate everything.
    Table 2.png

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Re: Populating Information from two cells into one cell on another tab

    I wonder if other forummembers can see the PNG (or how do I open the PNG)?

    On my screen it show just like a black cross and the text.

    Table 1
    Name: Table 1.png Views: 0 Size: 9.8 KB
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Please upload a sample of your workbook, not a picture of your data. Pictures are pretty much impossible to edit, and no-one wants to re-type your data for you
    Also, not all members can upload picture files (Company firewalls and stuff) - and, depending on what browser is being used, some pics dont even show up on the forum

    Your workbook should show a small desensitized example of the data you are working with and a manual mockup of the expected results.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Sorry there ya go.. So the second table is where they'll enter the serial number in the blank part and the
    rest will populate From Sheet 1 Table.

    See if this might do what you are wanting:

    Part Lookup.xlsx

    BTW I added data validation to the serial number column on sheet two.

    Re: Populating Information from two cells into one cell on another tab

    thanks for the filr

    1st, you need to remove the trailing space in "Type " on sheet1, and make the headings on both sheets identical (you have, for instance, Part # and Part#)

    Then try this, copied down and across...
    =IF(INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$F,MATCH(Sheet2!$C2,Sheet1!$C:$C,0),MATCH(A$1&"*",Sheet1!$A$1:$F$1,0))=0,INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$F,MATCH(Sheet2!$C2,Sheet1!$C:$C,0),MATCH(A$1&"*",Sheet1!$A$1:$F$1,0)+1),INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$F,MATCH(Sheet2!$C2,Sheet1!$C:$C,0),MATCH(A$1&"*",Sheet1!$A$1:$F$1,0)))

    (Im sure someone else will simplify this)
