Hi,

You can enter a formula in a cell in Sheet 2 col A which refers to Col B
of Sheet 1.

For eg. enter this formula in Cell A2 of Sheet 2 "=Sheet1!B2" and this
will automatically update the value in sheet 2 column A based on the
values in sheet 1 column B.

Thanks Govind.

I was looking for a lookup formula because sheet1 starts
in row 10 The next line of information is several lines
down ie Row 20. In Sheet2 I have the information starting
in Row 1 then row 2 and row 3 and so on down.

Thankyou.

Okay this is my attempt

=HLOOKUP(B2,Schools Database!C10:C2000,C2,Schools Database!
D102000)

in Sheet1 I've Labeled it Schools Database
In Sheet2 I've Labeled it Data Sort

the above Formula is in A2 What have I missed please.

Thankyou.

Hello from SteveD

=VLOOKUP(B2,'Schools Database'!C10:C2000,C2,'Schools
Database'!D102000)

is putting #REF! in the Cell.

Hi Steved,

For vlookup, you need to have a common field which is present both in
Sheet 1 and Sheet 2.

To do ths,arrange your sheets like this.

Sheet 1 - schools database

Column A has an field and Column B , c and D have data. column A could
be student number for Eg

Sheet 2 - Data sort

Enter the student number for which you are going to lookup in column A.

Then in column B(say cell B2) , use this formula

= VLOOKUP(A2,'Schools Database'!A102000, 2, false)

This will return the value in column B of sheet 1 for the same student
number.

To return column C of sheet 1, use

= VLOOKUP(A2,'Schools Database'!A102000, 3, false)

and accordingly.

Thanks

Govind.
