    How to create a template that automatically populates fields based on lookup table

    Hi,

    Please refer to the attachment. I'd like to create a button that essentially, once pressed, it automatically looks up values (mapped on ID field) against the 'NewCostCode_Lookup' tab and 'Services_lookup' tab. E.g.

    - Field E5 = looks up D5 (Cost Code) maps this against the 'NewCostCode_Lookup' tab and 'Old Value' list, then returns the 'New Value' i.e. 7006
    = Department1/Division1/CostCentre1

    - Field F5 = looks up Jeremy's ID (A5) against 'Services_Lookup' tab and returns the total no. (count) of Services this person is listed against e.g. there are a total of 8 that Jeremy Smith is listed against

    I want to avoid using vlookup everytime but rather just a press of a button will be great (macros perhaps?)

    Thanks.

    There is no need for a macro here. Use these formulas...

    B5: =IF($A5="", "", VLOOKUP($A5, Services_Lookup!$B:$D, 2, 0))
    C5: =IF($A5="", "", VLOOKUP($A5, Services_Lookup!$B:$D, 3, 0))
    E5: =IF($D5="", "", VLOOKUP($D5, NewCostCode_Lookup!$A:$B, 2, 0))
    F5: =IF($A5="", "", COUNTIF(Services_Lookup!B:B, $A5))

    Then copy those two cells downward as needed.
