    Re: Comparing two columns, and returning values in the 4th column from the 3rd column

    Hi Richard.

    I am sorry about that and i will try to make it simple this time. i am starting afresh here so consider the responses above as void. i have re-attached 2 snaps as under. Kindly see them. Each is from a worksheet within a workbook. there are 2 worksheets named Accounts and Checks.

    Accounts worksheet.jpgChecks Worksheet.jpg

    Accounts worksheet has 3 columns. Column B contain account names, column C contains the corresponding account codes and column A contains the corresponding ID.

    My concerned worksheet is Checks.
    in that, Column U contains some of the account names and the corresponding ID under column V (similar to columns A and B). i created an empty column W and want the account codes of Column C (Accounts worksheet) to auto-fill here based on the values in column V.

    I am new to excel so i don't know what to match with what or which values to lookup.
    simply put i want column W to show account codes as in Column C.

    Note that these worksheets are not limited to just 10 rows. so i need a formula that would do the job and which would apply to the whole Column W so that if any new entries are made i.e. beyond the 10 row, Column W would automatically display the account codes based upon what is there in either column U and/or V.

    Hi,

    Snapshots are little use to us (see guidance in the rules). Please upload the workbook and don't forget to manually add examples of the results, clearly explaining in notes in the workbook which are the results.
