In addition to Dan's D suggestion, you will probably need to use VLOOKUP to
match up the stats for a particular serial number. Where you would have a
list of the serial numbers in a table say, column J and the stats in column
K, L. M
=VLOOKUP(F1,K1:M100,2,0)
Would return the stat for the serial number in F1 from 2nd column of the
table, K. Change the 2 in the formula to 3 and it will return the 3rd
column value in L. 4 returns M.
