Dear friends,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
I would appreciate if you kindly help me to prepare an excel sheet with Auto generation of ID number, delivery date , once I select customer name and enter receive date.<o:p></o:p>
In sheet 2: I have already entered the customer name, ID no and delivery timeline.
In sheet 1: If I select “Name of the customer” from dropdown and enter the “Receive date”

<o:p></o:p>

I want three fields to be populated automatically: ID no, Delivery date and time remaining from today.

<o:p></o:p>

To calculate days remaining from today, I used
=IF(D4>TODAY(),D4-TODAY(),"")

I need help to generate Customer ID and delivery date.

Thanks in advance for your help.<o:p></o:p>

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
If I am reading this correctly, all you need is the VLOOKUP function. I just tested it myself, and VLOOKUP seem to auto populate the customer name from sheet2.

=VLOOKUP($A$2,Sheet2!$A$2:$D$5,2,FALSE)
