    Linking List While Excluding Blanks

    I have a task that has proven to be somewhat difficult.

    I need to link an inventory sheet and a purchase order sheet so that whenever a quanity is entered in the Quanity column of the inventory sheet, that row of information (that the quanity is entered in) is inputed into the purcahse order (on a seperate sheet) automatically and all blanks rows are not inserted.



    I'm trying to explain this the best I can and I haven't been able to find any help so far.

    Please help or point me in the right direction!

    I recommend uploading some sample data with expected results.

    One of the attached is the inventory speadsheet and the other is the purchase order.

    Whenever a value is entered for Quanity on the inventory spreadsheet, I need that row to be inserted into the purchase order without including all the blank rows.

    I dont quite understand the set up here but is this what you are looking for? Also I recommend not merging cells - it really causes in pain when trying to input formulas.

    I apologize,

    The set-up and merged cells are not my doing. I was just given this worksheet and told to work off of it.

    But what I saw is somewhat of what I want. I know what I'm asking for is unclear and all help is really appreciated.

    Would you be able to explain what you did?

    Yes I did a Vlookup to return the value from the inventory spreadsheet - the IFERROR was used to leave the cell blank if no data was returned.

    Im glad I can help.
