Hello. First time request for help, as I am learning.

My company has a pricing spreadsheet. Each customer has a separate tab. I need to find a way to populate one tab, with the information from the various company tabs, after choosing a company from a drop down menu.

Not even sure if it is possible.

Also, some companies have 1 or 2 products they receive, others could have 30-40. Created a mockup sheet of what it might look like. For the Letter tab, wanting the product code, name and pricing to fill out when I choose the company from cell B3.

Appreciate any help.

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
you could use an indirect() to choose the tab based on the name - if identical in both
and then lookup the product ID code if unique
I'm assuming only product codes will be entered based on the price is available in the tab

perhaps a xl2bb or share sample - with expected results - as you have a mockup

you have 2 versions of excel 2019 and 2021 - functions available are different between those 2 - i think maybe 40 added , not sure
so which version

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone
