Vlook Up

is it possible to look at ranges of data between more then two sheets

RE: Vlook Up

Hi Amran,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum, in answer to your question follow these steps:
If you consider the syntax for a VLOOKUP function: =vlookup(search cell, database, column) this will extract information from a specific point where row and column meet.
So if you were linking information from say Sheet 2 onto Sheet 1; and your search information was entered into cell A1 on Sheet 1 you would create your vlookup on sheet 1 in the cell you wish to link. =vlookup(A1,sheet2!"range",2,0) where "range" is the range of cells on sheet 2 that you wish to extract information from, and that column 2 is the column you wish to be used to create the cell reference to be viewed.

If however you just want to link one workbook information to another workbook information you only need to select a single cell, enter an equals sign, (=) and then navigate to the workbook and select the cell you wish to link to. Once linked you can then use the Fill commands to include adjacent cells.

I hope that has helped, if so please click the resolved link, regards Pete
