Update data from another sheet using criteria

[anajro09]

Hello,

I have an excel file that is used to update the payroll journal entry allocation. we use the ADP data from a second sheet to update the journal schedule. As of now it is updated manually twice a month. how do i create a formula to using maybe the staff name or employee ID, to pull the amounts and update automatically as soon as the new data is dumped? 

please help, thank you

That could be any lookup formula (XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, etc) depends on your Excel version.  But that's better to discuss with small sample which illustrates how data is structured.
