I need help with a formula

[MrSales]

A1 B1

Col 1 Col2 Col3 Col 4
MS21044D9 AN365D918 AN365D918A MS20365D918
MS21044N02 F22NM-256 F22NM-02
MS21044N04 F22NM-440 F22NM-40 MS20365-440A

I want to be able to type any part number in A1 and have it return th
corresponding information in column a of that line in B1.

I have a database of 25 columns and 50,000 lines.

I understand VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP but they don't work for the obviou
reasons.

Thank Yo

What obvious reason would that be?
