    Find Value over multiple sheets in one cell then paste to new sheet the prev. 2 cells

    Hello Everyone.

    Been doing this manually for a while and going crazy (try doing this for 700+ values at a time).

    Basically, I am given a bunch of values ABCD00001234, ABCD00001235 etc...
    What I need is to find all those values which are located in Cell "C" over multiple sheets (40000+ rows per sheet over 4 sheets) and then copy/paste the values in Cell "A" & "B" in the same row then paste those values into a new sheet so that I now have in one row "A" "B" "C".

    Example: I am given:
    ABCD00001234
    ABCD00001235
    ABCD00001236
    ABCD00001250
    ABCD00001251
    ABCD00001288

    I could copy, then find, then paste then copy cells A and B in that row then paste into the sheet with the values I was given so that I now have all the info like this in cells A-C

    AAA55 C02 ABCD00001234
    AAA55 C03 ABCD00001235
    AAA55 C04 ABCD00001236
    AAE45 H12 ABCD00001250
    AAE46 A01 ABCD00001251
    AAE87 D12 ABCD00001288

    Etc.

    So, if I could just get a function etc.. that would allow me to have all values C in one sheet get searched for in all columns C of the other sheets and when found have their A&B cells copied then pasted into the originating sheet as A&B so I have a finished format as above, that would be great.

    I hope this makes sense

    TIA

    D.

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
