    Compare and Combine two lists

    Good Afternoon,

    I have two worksheets in excel.

    One is an order list.

    Order# || Product
    12345678 || Blue Mug
    23456789 || Green Mug

    The other is an efficiency list of time it takes to build each product.

    Product || Assembly || Paint || Labeling
    Blue Mug || 1:20 || 2:10 || 3:00
    Green Mug || 1:30 || 1:40 || 2:00

    What I'd like to do is take the order list, compare it to the product list, and then add the time it takes to build each product in a new column under new headings for each order.

    Order# || Product || Assembly || Paint || Labeling
    12345678 || Blue Mug || 1:20 || 2:10 || 3:00
    23456789 || Green Mug || 1:30 || 1:40 || 2:00

    Consider there are roughly 400 orders on the list, and around 30 different products. Rather than hard coding a bunch of nested IfThen statements or SelectCase, is there a better, more efficient way to do it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You should check out the VLOOKUP formula. That's what you need. Use Excels helpfile, or search this forum. There should be thousands of exampels here.
