I have one worksheet that is constantly updated. I am creating new worksheets working off of the data input into the original (let's call the original WIP). The second worksheet (let's call this BILLING) is the one I need to build. Each person is to have their own sheets in BILLING and I want the information to be input automatically when WIP is updated. E.g. I am creating a BILLING sheet for DSH (the invididual's ID). I want that row that has DSH as the ID in column E to be replicated in BILLING for DSH. I don't need the entire row, just columns A,B & F replicated. If column E is someone else, I want it replicated in the appropriate sheet but to have nothing entered in DSH. Any ideas? Do I make any sense or am I babbling in Greek??? :confused:

Hello & Welcome to the board :biggrin:

In order for a Vlookup to work, you will need to define initials in a hidden table

Sheet1


In E1 on your billing sheet, enter

=IF(F2=VLOOKUP(E2,E:F,2,FALSE)=TRUE,VLOOKUP(E2,E:F,2,FALSE),"Error")

You could then, do vlookups on the other cells in the billing sheet, to populate these cells

Obviously - The vlookup will over two documents, just adapt the vlookup to read from the other document

Let me know how you get on

This is a sample of a vlookup from another network file

=VLOOKUP(A17,'P:\Mcr Tech Team\[Marlice September 06 Figures.xls]Sheet1'!$A:$V,6,FALSE)

OK, first you'll need to build a table like the example i gave you, if this is not included in the document, the Vlookup has nothing to work from, therefore it needs to be present in the document

It can be hidden after

Are you familiar with Vlookup?
