Data from one sheet to another

[Dannybpool]

Hi all.

I have 2 spreadsheets.

Spreadsheet 1

Sku
OE part number
Blank (Cross reference number )

Spreadsheet 2

OE number
Cross reference number

What is best way to match the OE number and then copy the cross reference number from sheet 2 into the Blank field on sheet 1?

Basically we have on our stock spreadsheet an SKU and OE number populated but need to populate a cross reference column, we have from a supplier a spreadsheet which has an OE column and a cross reference column so need to pull the data to our sheet

so the common filed is OE Number

=index(Sheet2!Range with the cross reference number, MATCH( sheet1!cell with OE number, sheet2! range with OE number , 0 ))




in C sheet 1
put


=index(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$1000, MATCH( sheet1B2, sheet2!$A$2:$A$1000 , 0 ))

assuming
Spreadsheet 1

Sku column A
OE part number column B
Blank (Cross reference number ) column C

Spreadsheet 2

OE number column A
Cross reference number column B

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone

Sorry for the delay, this has been put aside for more important work and is not being revisited.

I have added a small example. Sheet 1 and sheet 2 both have 2 columns one OE part number and Fits. Sheet 1 has far more data compared to sheet 2, so looking to ideally match part number and then combine all data in the Fits cells. Happy if there is solution to allow manual work to be kept a minimum, but if not never mind. Thanks
