    Question Linking data between sheets as it is added

    Hello all,
    Im making a workbook (excel 2010) for sales data on my website and have a few questions. Each Sale has a specific order number associated with it. I enter it into spreadsheet one and it calculates my profit based on a lot of different factors.
    Spreadsheet #2 is my returns and credits sheet.
    Each order number will be placed in column A
    Is there a way to link order numbers as they appear, for instance if I enter in order #234 in spreadsheet #2 it will take me to that order in spreadsheet #1. I know how to link data that is constant across spreadsheets, but this data will be added as we go.

    If this is not possible, another thing that would help would be to highlight the order number cell in spreadsheet #1 if it appears in spreadsheet #2.

    Thanks guys

    match() will give you the row number (if you add inthe extra rows for headings etc). also, vlookup will return specified info for you

    perhaps you should upload a sample work book, (all sensitive data removed), showing what data you are working with, what your expected outcome is, and how you arrived at that
    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    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

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/y41bi1df1r...uary_Ebay.xlsx
    The file was too large to upload via the uploader, there is the dropbox link for it.
    I am tring to match the Record number in column "b" in sheet "shipping" with the record number in column "c" in sheet "returns"
    Ive also been tring to write a statement that if two record numbers match, the value in "cost, column k, sheet returns" will be transposed to "cost, column Q, sheet shipping"
    Thank you for your quick reply.

    sorry, many of us are unable to download files from sites like dropbox etc (work firewalls).

    perhaps you could create a copy and delete data/sheets that do not relate to your question

    took screenshots of it. File was too large to get down with two sheets.
