I have a list of peoples names in a column and I need to put their unique ID#'3 next to their name. I know Access can do it, but can excel look at the name in the column and then put that users ID # in the column next to it?
Yes, I'm a newb. :)

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Where are the ID's coming from?

Maybe a Vlookup....check excel help on this topic.

You rock. That was perfect.

Ahh, I miss Canada.

Have a Coffee Crisp and Tim Hortons coffee for me would you?

I understand they have several Tim Horton's establishments in the US now. That coffee is addictive. We have a few of your Krispy Kreme's here but they are not doing so well now (they did do very well for the first year or so....it was a bit of a novelty...but way to sweet for the average Canadian)...we're sticking to Timmy's. We can't get enough of those kruellers and muffins.

I can't believe there are no Coffee Crisp bars there!

AND...

There is no Kraft Peanut butter of Neo Citran. Don't take them for granted.
I miss them so much....
