Can you pull data from another Spreadsheet?

I am very new to Excel, started on Saturday. I am/well have created a
spreadsheet that I will use for field service calls. I have another
spreadsheet with all the parts I would use includding a description, part
number and two list prices (one for T&M customers and one for Contract
customers).

What I would like to know is if there is any way I can pull the data from
the parts spreadsheet, part number, desc, and prices, and have them
automatically placed on the field service spreadsheet?

I would like to have the part number be the "trigger" device.

Now is this possible and can some kind soul give me some cluese on how to do
it?

Thanks in advance.

I think what you need is a VLOOKUP formula. The formula would be linked to
the Parts sheet. The reference cell will be the one where you are typing in
the part number.
