    can excel be used as a search option

    I have over 500 different types of transactions and each one has its own code. These are listed on a worksheet. on a separate sheet i have report with dates, ttransactions code etc . is there a way of pulling the specific info from the list? ie if i type 157 intoe a3 then d3 shows the transaction, if i type in 445 d3 shows this transaction etc etc. important using 2007.
    Does this make sense?

    Vlookup will do that for you.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    You can accomplish this with vlookup or hlookup, depending on how your table is organized.

    If your unique transaction code is on the left column, A2:A6
    And your elements are on the top, B1:E1
    Then try this:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    This formula looks for the tag in A2, in the context of table A1:E6, and returning the value in the 3rd column over (to the right).
    Replace VLOOKUP with HLOOKUP if your unique transaction numbers are at the top instead of the side.
