    vlookup specific description from multiple tabs under specific header name in one column

    Hi all, thank you advance for your help. Looking for a simple formula/vlookup to match some data across multiple tabs for reconciliation. Example attached.

    Master_Copy sheet = this is loaded into a system and sometimes the system have a habit of not being able to load all the prices in one go so it does it by batches.
    ?Price matched? tabs 1, 2 and 3 will show what is ?matched_prices? and not matched which means what has been loaded successfully and not.
    Ideally in tab sheet ?Compare? from column I, I would like to have a formula/vlookup to look up from ?Price matched 1? sheet to only capture any row under column header ?Matched_Prices? only.
    In each of the ?Price matched? tabs 1, 2 and 3 sheet will have several columns headers and all consistence but I only want to look and capture rows under column header ?Matched_Prices? only.

    So in Compare sheet, I?m looking for code ?AAA? therefore, look at ?Price matched 1? tab and lookup under column header ?Matched_Prices? if code ?AAA? is there, if yes then copy or capture the row A to G, if not go to ?Price matched 2? tab etc.

    Hope I'm making sense. Thank you again in advance for your help.

    Re: vlookup or matched formulas

    Hi FDibbins, apologies for that, title updated and I hope that makes sense.

    I'm trying to do a VLOOKUP to look for a specific description/code that would be in multiple tabs however it has to be in specific header name/title that is located in a column that would have multiple headers.

    To be more specific, from tab "Compare" cell I12 is "AAA" and I want to find the code "AAA" that is classified under header name "Matched_Prices" from column A across the multiple sheets "Price matched 1", "Price matched 2" and "Price matched 3" and grab data from column B to G.

    So look for code "AAA" in sheets "Price matched 1" under column A with header name "Matched_Prices", if not there then look in next sheet name "Price matched 2" under column A with header name "Matched_Prices", if not there then look in next sheet name "Price matched 3". The sheet name "Price matched 3" will have "AAA" code so I want to be able to capture column B to G into the "compare" sheet from J12 - O12.
    The purpose of this is to know which file the code is coming from and that all codes are accounted for under the "Matched_Prices".

    Hope this is a little clearer.

    Re: vlookup specific description from multiple tabs under specific header name in one colu

    Thanks for your repsonse and help sandy666 but I'm still very new to excel so PQ is a new level for me. Looking at your file, have no idea what was done. I'm simply looking for a formula to be able to do this and the idea is to use it as a template moving forward. many thanks for your help anyway.

    @trpltwo

    Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

    It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.


    - Follow this link for an introduction to Power Query functionality.

    - Follow this link for a video which demonstrates how to use Power Query code provided.
