Lookup and Match Data from another spreadsheet
Hi and please bear with me on this one, Excel is not my functions are not my strongest point.
A task I have been presented with is to total up the working hours logged per individual AND per department.
The reports I am able to extract I can easily filter to the individual however I need a way to filter by departments.
So, I have a spreadsheet (the master) with 3 columns, Staff Name, Employee ID, Department.
On the extracted report I get the staff name, employee ID and Hours logged.
I would like to, from the report spreadsheet, look up and match the employee ID from the master spreadsheet, and pull across their department into a new column in the report spreadsheet, this would allow me to filter by department.
I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for any support offered.
If I understand correctly, you want to have the "Department" in the extracted report. Use xlookup: =XLOOKUP(B2,[Master.xlsx]Sheet1!$B:$B,[Master.xlsx]Sheet1!$C:$C)

This is exactly what I needed, many thanks for the solution
Could you attach a small sample workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar?
