    Pulling data from one spreadsheet based on unique identifier

    Firstly i hope this is in the right forum.

    I have two spreadsheets:

    1) One has Product code (unique), cost, price and a few other columns of data.

    2) The other has the same product codes but with some different columns of data e.g stock location.

    I want to be able to add the cost column of data to the second spreadsheet. However because the products aren't in the same order its not a simple copy and paste job.

    Is there away i can populate the cost column in the second spreadsheet with the cost data from the first spreadsheet based on the product code?

    Thanks

    Use a Vlookup. If you're unfamiliar with that function, you should upload a sample workbook (with sensitive data scrubbed out) so we could more easily assist you.
    Don't just use the answers provided for you. Try to understand how it works by reverse engineering or asking about it.

    Here is an example VLOOKUP formula for you that references another file to retrieve values starting in A1 of the workbook with the formula

    Formula: copy to clipboard
