Hi

So far I have the following formula:

=IF(AND(B:B='Category 3 - Accepted'!B:B,'Category 3 - Accepted'!H:H="Approve",Z7="x"), "A","")

What I'm trying to do is have excel populate the fields from my Category 3 sheet to the current sheet based on the ID # (which is in column B on both sheets) and the presence of the x in Z. Right now this formula works, but only if the ID # is in the same row on both sheets. I need it to work regardless of the row it's in because it will likely never match up.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
There's got to be a way to do this. I want the fields to populate with information from the other sheet when the ID # is typed into the first sheet.

I'm not entirley sure what your trying to do, but would a vlookup not do as you wish?

1 for each sheet, but looking up the same value

Not all of my post is showing, but essentially theres a Vlookup for each sheet in the answer cells, all referencing the same lookup number which is in different rows in each sheet.

If it's just a straight Vlookup for each instance of the number then above should suffice, but if you need criteria added, like in an =Ifxx=xx,Vlooku( then that should be easy enough...just not able to do it right now as my sheets not displaying on the board proper

This is the master sheet I'm trying to get the information on. The blue cells will be typed in and the yellow cells I want to automatically fill from the other sheet in the workbook. The application ID is what I want to type in on this sheet and have the formulas in the yellow cells pull the correct information from the other sheet. I think I might need to add the lookup formula somewhere into my formula? As I said earlier, my formula is working as long as the application IDs are on the same row on each of the tabs. Ex. if application 12345 is on row 2, it has to be on row 2 on the second sheet and the information is pulling correctly.
