    Creating Lookup Sheet

    Hi, I'm new to this and hoping someone can help me. I have a list of my movies in excel. In cell A1 I have the location of where the movie is. Example location 1. Then in cell B, I have the names of the movies. I want to create on the same sheet a lookup cell where I can type in the name of the movie and on the next cell I get the location. Would greatly appreciate any help. I have cell 1 thru 3005. Thank again for any help.

    With location/movies table in a1:b5, and the lookup movie in D2

    =INDEX(A1:A5, MATCH(D2, B1:B5, FALSE))

    A1:A5 should be the range where the location column is
    B1:B5 should be the range where the movie column is
    D2 should be where the movie you want to lookup is

    ok it's not working perhaps I did not explain correctly. I want to type in for example D2 the name of the movie, then in another cell I want to see the results which would be the name of the movie + location.

    Hi.

    Have you tried auto filter - this would give you a tab across each column.

    Example:
    Click on the tab with the title of the film, within that column -a dropdown listing of all films will be shown, scroll down to the title you select, click on that, it would display all titles of that name - and on the basis that you have given a location code - it would display all data/info.
