Greetings. I'm new here and I don't have much time to read each post one by one. I will give you an example in text and I will leave photos under text.
I have two sheets. In the SHEET 2 I have columns A and B. In column A I have numbers (codes) and in the second column B names of those codes.
I want in SHEET 1 , column A , in any cell for example In the first 15 when I enter numbers (codes) from SHEET 2 that it automatically recognizes name of that number (codes) from SHEET 2.
So that I don't have to manually type the name every time after i write number ( codes) . Note: Each number (code) is different and each of them has a different name.
Is that possible and thanks in advance.

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Hi mirofa,

Welcome to MrExcel!!

Put this formula into cell B1 of SHEET 1 and copy down as far as need:

Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,'SHEET 2'!A:B,2,FALSE),"")

Hope that helps,

Robert

It shows me this error. I'm trying to create a packing slip. I'll try to explain better. In Sheet 2 I have product codes and names. And when I enter the product code in sheet 1 for example in cell B2 or B3 , I want it to immediately write the name of the product that is related to that code in the column next to it, so that I don't have to manually enter names every time. Look at new pictures.

thank you

It may be a regional settings issue - perhaps you normally use semicolons rather than commas as argument separators? Try:

Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1;'SHEET 2'!A:B;2;FALSE);"")
