nickie115&nbsp;If you have only one invoice number per order in the "other sheet" you can use VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP (if your Excel version supports it. If, on the other hand, you have multiple invoice numbers for the same order, you'll need something more sophisticated.

Thank you but what do you write after vlookup?What is our search key? is it our invoicenumber or ordernumber?Which range is it? Is it the invoice number/ordernumber?What is the index and how is it sorted?VLOOKUP(search_key,&nbsp;range,&nbsp;index,&nbsp;[is_sorted])

nickie115&nbsp;Have you looked at the formulae in my example? Google for VLOOKUP and/or XLOOKUP. There are many tutorials on line. Better at explaining than what I can write up here in a few minutes.
