Pull a row of cells from one sheet to another if the reference mataches in both sheets

Hi Everyone

Bit of an excel noob!

I have two spreadsheets, one of which i need to cross reference with the other to get missing information.


Is the a function to do the following

i.e

Sheet A contains 3 columns A1-A10, B1-B10, C1-C10

A1-A10 contains a list of company reference numbers whilst the other two display a break down of the area it relates too.

Sheet B

Only contains references in A1-A10. So is there a function i can use that automatically pulls the B1-B10, C1-C10 information from Sheet A based on the references listed in A1-A10.

So basically I need it to populate B1-B10, C1-C10 columns on sheet B if any references is contained on sheet A.

The sheet changes on a weekly basis so is time consuming to look up each reference so would be hand if there was an auto function. need this in a function - If Reference in Column A1/sheetB appears on sheetA A1/SheetA pull B1-B10, C1-C10 row from sheetA to SheetB

hope that makes sense!

And Many Thanks in advance!!!

You can do what you want using vlookup(). Something like...

=vlookup(A1,sheet A!$A$1:$C$10,2,0)

copy this down, change ,2, to ,3, for the next column
