    Question How to Auto populate names in columns when ID numbers are entered in first column

    I have a Main list with Donor ID number in first column, Firstname in second column and Surname in third column. I will have to prepare a new sheet with just the headers Donor ID number, Firstname and Surname and when a colleague enters the ID number in the first column, we will need the First name and second name to automatically appear in the second and third column.

    Can you please advise if there are any formulas? I work for a charity, your help is very much appreciated.

    hi ramya.jayachandran.
    =VLOOKUP(A2,MainDonor!A:B,2,0)

    =VLOOKUP(A2,MainDonor!A:C,3,0)
