I have an excel spreadsheet having information in two sheets i.e. sheet 1 and sheet 2
Sheet 1 has 3 columns.
Column A (Description) consists of repetitive values
Column B (Job Title) Blank cells {Information needs to be populated from Sheet 2}
Column C (University) Blank cells {Information needs to be populated from Sheet 2}

Sheet 2 has 3 columns
Column A (Description) consists of only unique values which are repetitively appearing in Sheet 1 Column A
Column B consist of Job Titles
Column C consists of University names
Matching both Sheet 1 & 2 column A, I am looking for formula to auto populate values in column B & C of sheet 1. Example is below:
Description
Job Title
University
Assoc Prof. Seton Hall University School of Law.
Assoc Prof.

Assoc Prof. St. John's.

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Code:
=VLOOKUP($A$2,Sheet2!$A$2:$C$10,2,FALSE)
- Job Titles
Code:
=VLOOKUP($A$2,Sheet2!$A$2:$C$10,3,FALSE)
- University

Sheet1
DescriptionJob TitleUniversity
Assoc Minho UniversityProfessorMinho University

<tbody>
</tbody>

Sheet2
DescriptionJob TitleUniversity
Assoc Minho UniversityProfessorMinho University

<tbody>
</tbody>

For what I understood, description is unique, so I went for search on Sheet2 each "Description" and then get the correspondent Jobtitle and University.

Is that want you were looking for?
