    Automatic cell fill

    I HAVE 2 COLUMNS: 1) PART # AND 2)DESCRIPTION.

    i WANT DESCRIPTION TO FILL AUTOMATICALLY IN COLUMN2 WHEN I ENTER PART # IN COLUMN 1.

    I know this can happen by using IF statements could you please help me with this.

    I have the data with part nos and descriptions in another sheet.

    Looking forward for your reply.

    Thanks,
    Vishali.

    Hi

    You need to use VLookup

    =vlookup(match_part_no,table_with_parts_ and_description,Co_no_with-description,FALSE).

    e.g.Vlookup(B2,Datasheet!A1:B100,2,False)

    Vishali,

    you need to relax a little, don't PM me with 'notify on read' because I will not allow the response, and moreso when you PM me close to midnight don't expect a response.

    There was also no reason to cross post the question in 3 places.

    This is a Forum, Post your query in accordance with the Forum rules and wait for someone who feels inclined to offer a response.

    Your query is not urgent to me so using the 'u' word or sending PM's gains you nothing except a bad reputation.
