    replace customer number with customer name

    Hi,
    I have 2 seperate files with over 500 customers details. my problem is that one spreadsheet shows both their name and customer ID (seperate columns) and the other shows just their customer ID. In the 2nd file how can I replace the customer ID's with their names? (the numbers are not allocated based on alphabetical order)

    use VLOOKUP in another column....

    e.g.

    =VLOOKUP(A2,'Sheet1'!A:B,2,FALSE)

    copied down.

    you may need to replace Sheet1 with entire path to other workbook...
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
