i have a dropdown in A1 which is 2 companies, i have data for these companies on 2 separate worksheets. what i would like is, if A1 =company 1 i could have a vlookup for that sheet in tabs A4:D4, but if A1 = company 2 a vlookup to that sheet would be needed for the same range.

i have looked at videos and read examples but nothing seems to be clear, any help and advice would be greatly appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).

=if(A1="ABC";vlookup(lookupvalue;Sheet1!A4:D4;0);vlookup(lookupvalue;Sheet2!A4:D4;0))

Substitute "ABC" by the name of the company you have on the dropdown and "lookupvalue" by the value you want to look up for on sheets 1 and 2. That should do the trick.
