I’m afraid I’m new to VBA and could use some coding help and advice on how to use Vlookup or another search function with missing data. I’m attempting to organize data for a work project in which I need to propagate the first data sheet in a workbook with the contents of the next 9 data sheets.

The first data sheet has a column A which consists of a sorted list of numbers corresponding to product codes. The next 9 data sheets contain a table of the product code and two or three attributes of the product. However sheets 2-10 are only partial lists of the product. For example sheet 1 contains a list of 11,800 entries then sheets 2-10 contain a compilation of those numbers with none repeated on a single sheet (for instance from 1,000 - 10,000 product codes on each sheet). Sheets 2-10 also differ amongst themselves in which product codes they do contain. And there are some blank cells in sheets 2-10. So I need to copy the info from sheets 2-10 into sheet 1 leaving blank (or another mark) where the info is absent.

Simple Example:
Sheet 1 . . . . . . . . .Sheet 2 . . . . . . . . . . . Sheet3
Prod Code . . . Prod Code | Height | Weight . . . Prod Code | Location
458 . . . . . . . . . 458 . 13 . 15 . . . . . . . . . . . 509 . B6U8
509 . . . . . . . . . 509 . 10 . __ . . . . . . . . . . . 531 . B6Y3
531 . . . . . . . . . 566 . 7 . 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . 566 . B2W4
566

Desired Outcome: Sheet 1
Prod Code | Height | Weight | Location
458 . 13 . 15 . __
509 . 10 . __ . B6U8
531 . __ . __ . B6Y3
566 . 7 . 16 . B2W4

Any suggestions? Thank very much for help in advance.
