    Search and copy cells across Sheets, NEED URGENT HELP!!!

    Hey Guys need some help copying cells, will try explain my process as good as possible. It is across 2 sheets.

    The cells I want to fill are in coloumn V in sheet 2. ie v10, v11, v12, etc.

    On sheet 2 column d comtains an item count and V is the count of that item.

    Then on sheet 1 column ranges (B4 To B49) (G4 To G49) (L4 To L49) (Q4 To Q49) containt the relevenant item code to column D on sheet 2. Also on sheet one the count section that I want copied into V on sheet 2 which is columns D,I, N,S 4-49 etc..

    My issue is that sheet 1 is constantly rearranging and sheet 2 is in numerical order of column D.

    So how do I get sheet 2 V10 to populate by searching for the item code of D10 on sheet 2 in B,G,L,Q of sheet 1 then once located to then copy the contents of the number from D,I,N,S that works with the item list?

    Then once done this that I can copy the formula all the way down column V in sheet 2?

    I hope this makes sense

    It is much easier to describe if you attach a sample workbook, and then we can play about with different approaches and give you something that works.

    The FAQ describes how to attach a file to one of your posts.

    Index+match seems like it might be the key but yeah if you post a sample workbook this is probably a very simple task.

    Hi pringle1987

    I hope this makes sense
    well, actually, it doesn't. That is, not for the first 3 or 4 times of reading. However, let me see if I have this correct.

    The cells I want to fill are in coloumn V in sheet 2
    This would be the sheet cunningly called "Sheet1" ?
    On sheet 2 column d comtains an item count
    Should this read "sheet 2 column d comtains an item reference" ?
    Then on sheet 1
    that is NOT the one called "Sheet1" but the one called "Count Sheet"

    If you can confirm that my guesses are correct, I am sure that someone can help. Note that the confusion causes most people to give up so you are unlikely to get an "urgent" response.

    Regards

    These reasons are exactly why I didn't respond, and wont respond until things are clear and atleast aligned with one another.
