Linking info from another worksheet

[Cody]

I have a sales order form that has an area for part number and description.
When I type in the part number I would like it to auto-populate the
description from my parts list I have on another work sheet. Is this even
possible? I would appreciate any help!

Table looks something like this

Quantity Part Number Description Price per Unit Total
Price
1 00-0000 10.00
20.00
2 11-1111 20.00
40.00

I have all my part numbers and description in another sheet and I would like
it to link to this other sheet to retrieve the description when I type in the
part number. The other sheet is very basic:

Part Number Description Price
00-0000 Part 10.00

I really appreciate the help!

I apologize, that didn't come out looking right.

It's essentially five columns followed by a bunch of rows. The five columns
are as follows: 1. Quantitiy 2. Part Number 3. Description 4. Price per Unit
5. Total Price

I have no problem inputting the quantity, part number, and price per unit.
The total price automatically calculates based on the quantity. But I need
help auto-populating the description so I don't have to type it in every
time. The worksheet I'm wanting to retrieve this from is a basic data shee
with two columns: 1. part number 2. description. So essentially I would like
the first work sheet to populate the description from the data sheet by
matching the part number.

Thanks!

Assuming your basic data sheet is called data, then put this formula
in C2 of your other sheet:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,data!A:A,0)),"",VLOOKUP(B2,data!A:B,2,0))

Then copy this down as far as you need.

Hope this helps.
