    Referencing Information from Other Sheet???

    I have two sheets. In Sheet 1 there is a list of items and details about that item. In Sheet 2 there is a list of items that also occur in Sheet 1. I need a formula that will refer to Sheet 1 and produce the detail for the matching item in Sheet 2 in Col2. Most of the items in Sheet 1 occur only once. The items in Sheet 2 occur multiple times.

    Here is there idea...

    It's hard to give you a direct answer since you didn't provide a sample workbook, but a VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH combo could work for this:

    Assuming your data table on Sheet 2 (Item 1) starts in E3, and your data table on Sheet 1 starts in B3.

    Thank you! This worked for several of the items. But on the rest I get an error (#N/A) but am not sure why. :?

    Make sure you update the cell reference ranges. If your data extends below row 8, you'll need to update the formula to capture all the data.
