Hi, I have a problem. I want to be able to supply multi cells with only filling in one single cell. like if i fill in an ID number it will fill in Name, Product amounts. For example

Worksheet 1

ID:
Name:
A............B............C
Product...Amount....Price
??..........???...........???


Worksheet 2

A......B.........C............D.............E
ID.....Name...Product...Amount....Price
112...Sony....TV..........200..........800.00

i would like to input the ID number in worksheet one and it auto put in the Name, Product, amount, and price from worksheet 2.

On the second worksheet all the info is on a single row.
i was hoping there was a way to link column with cells and fill in based on using one of them cells in a row.

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
U can accomplish that, if IDs are unique, with vlookup formula
ex.
in A2 u type product ID
in B2 formula: =vlookup(A2,sheet2!A2:E100,2,0)
in C2 formula: =vlookup(A2,sheet2!A2:E100,3,0)
in D2 formula: =vlookup(A2,sheet2!A2:E100,4,0)
in E2 formula: =vlookup(A2,sheet2!A2:E100,5,0)

I would just like to say thank you so much. I thought it had something to do with vlookup, but i wasn't under standing what to enter when using the formula. but after looking at the example and your formula i was able to figure out what the formula was saying, which always helps me understand it more.

Thank you again dado6612 you are a life saver
