    Referencing values in separate worksheet

    Hi

    I need a formula that will reference a specific value located in A1:A1000 on worksheet 1, locate the same value in A1:A1000 on worksheet 2 and return the value from Column C on worksheet 2 for the same record.

    I've done this before, a long time ago, and can't recall now. Any help appreciated.

    Re: Referencing values in separate worksheet

    Could someone please give me an example code for the above. I've added an attachment with an example worksheet.

    The formula is to go in col E of the Dept worksheet. I want to be able to search the same value in column A on the worksheet "Dept" and find the same value in column A of the worksheet "Vehicle" and the result will be the corresponding value in the vehicle make column of the same record.

    Hope this makes sense. (Basically I want to find the vehicle make of each person).

    Insert on E2:
    =VLOOKUP(A2,Vehicle!$A$2:$E$5,5,FALSE)

    Then copy down

    Kindly

    [1] Use code tags. Place "[code]" before the first line of code and "[/code"]" after the last line of code. Exclude quotation marks
    [2] Mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily by editing your original post in advanced mode.
    [3] Thank (using the little scale) those that provided useful help; its nice and its very well appreciated
