    Populate text from other sheet based on number or word entered

    Hi everybody,

    I want to make text populate based on what is in another tab. I want the text from the TOPICS tab to populate based on the number entered in column B on the weekly sign in sheet tab and the month also entered in column B also on the weekly sign in sheet tab. I’ve attached an example of what I am looking for. Thank you for the help!

    You would get help quicker if you showed what outcome you expect
    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

    Regards

    Re: Populate text from other sheet based on number or word entered

    Sorry about that! In the example 1 tab I've attached, you'll see in cells B8, B13, B18 and B23 have the number 1. There is also a number 1 in cell C3. I want the cells in B8, B13, B18 and B23 to automatically populate the text associate with the number 1 from the TOPICS tab. I want the month associate with the monthly chat to update based on the text that goes with the month typed in B28. Everything should be based on the number in cell C3. In the example 2 tab, I did the same thing and put the number 2 in cells C3, B8, B13, B18 and B23. The month January is in B28. Let me know if there are any more questions.

    Sorry for off-topic interjection:

    Although there is no official rule regarding this behavior, we request that wherever possible both the question AND the answer be provided in substantive detail here within the thread. An attached workbook is an excellent aid for posing a question and offering a solution, but solely doing that with no in thread explanation makes it difficult for researchers to understand or consider the Q & A of this thread without downloading what may be a pointless doc to them, if they can do that at all. Doing that also hides the content from search engines so others may never benefit from this.

    I'm sure you understand, and we look forward to seeing you post your formulas/macros in your posts for the searching benefit of all.

    Thanks again for all your hard work here!

    First, if possible, sheet TOPIC, move "Weekly Minder Schedule" from A1 to B1, to keep all tables are in same structure.

    Sheet Weekly, cell B8, B13,B18, B23
    =$C$3

    A8:
