    Unhappy Need help displying figures from one column if an entered value matches a value in another

    To start off I am self learning to use excel. And i'm sure i'm just thick headed.

    Here's the deal I want to create a spread sheet the will allow me to input data in a cell and display related info in other cells
    i.e.
    if i enter numerical data into F4 sheet 1 I want to have it look in column A on sheet 2 for a match. if it finds a match in column A i want it to print the data in column G of that same row into a cell back on the first sheet.

    if i were writing this out it would sound like: if the value entered into F4 sheet 1 matches any of the data in column A sheet 2 then print the data from column G of the same row into F5 sheet 1.

    Again i understand I'm an idiot. I just could use some help

    Hi buggler and welcome to the forum

    I think you need to look into using the vlookup() function. the syntax is...

    =VLOOKUP(what-you-want-to-find,range-to-search-in,column-that-contains-the-match,FALSE) FALSE is for finding an exact match
    so, something like...
    =vlookup(F4,sheet2!A1:G50,7,false)
    adjust the ranges as needed
    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

    Regards
