Dear all,

I am currently sitting with a rather large sheet of data. I have made a smaller, and more simple data sheet for simplicity's sake.

Currently I have the following information:

As you can see, the data for 2016 has already been filled out (through an old and more manual method). However, I would like for my 2017 column to link to my sheet entitled "Test data" and return the necessary values to each cell. The test data sheet looks like this:

Please note that I am relatively new at Excel with limited experience in complex formulas. I can only assume that I would need to create some sort of Iferror(IndexMatch) formula in order to solve this puzzle.

Can anybody please assist me in what I need to change my row values to (maybe in order for them to co-align better?) and what kind of Formula I can use to copy paste through my column in the first picture in order to fill out my data for the 2017 column?

Thank you so much everybody! :)

Let me know if you want me to upload my test file or anything else by the way!

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
I imagine that maybe I can index the top column in the test data with an index column in the test sheet right? or?

Since your headers are not consistent between sheets, neither in name nor order, you may want to just do the column mapping manually and use formulas like those in the example below.

Please note, as of the update, that I have changed the tables from the screenshots, my formula and how I want to refer to my data. You may ignore the top of this post.

Thank you everybody! And apologies Fluff for the potential double error :)

Dear Jgordan,

Thank you very much for your response!

I appreciate your response, and thank you very much for the formulas!

Unfortunately, I want to keep my structure as it is, but I have updated it accordingly so it should fit now. However, I am currently facing the issue that I want to transpose the data that I refer to so I can pull my formulas vertically down. Can you assist in this?

Thank you! :)

Copy the original format, go to where you the transposed data to go, select the top left cell, Paste menu > Paste Special > check the transpose box > click OK
