Finding identical values in a different spreadsheet and copying over correlating values.
I am not intimately familiar with Excel, nor do I use it very often, so I apologize if my question is poorly phrased. I have two spreadsheets. Spreadsheet 1 has a full list of numerical codes in...
That could be like
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$C:$C,MATCH(Sheet2!$B2,Sheet1!$B:$B,0)),"")
Similar if they are different workbooks, not sheets.
Thank you for the response. Seeing the function has shown me just how little I know about Excel. Which portions of the function would be changed to match a specific spreadsheet? I'd imagine Sheet1 and Sheet2 are changed to the proper names, but what about $C or $B2?
B and C are columns in Sheet1 with your data, you may change any other ones, e.g. $A:$A instead of $B:$B
$B2 is the first cell in Sheet2 with your code
Formula against it in C2. If you drag cell C2 down, formula in C3 will be with $B3. Please check about absolute and relative references in Excel.
