Hi Excel Gurus,

I am currently working on a Project that requires me to look up the respective value: Here is how it goes,

I have got 2 workbooks, one is the master workbook that contains data such as:
Workbook 1

[TABLE="width: 470"]

[TD="align: right"]Serial Number[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]Contract fee[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]Maintanence fee[/TD]

Could any of you help me come up with a lookup formula or VBA that can do the job?

Would be much appreciated!


Edit: And I would like to have the data (amount) from workbook2 to Transfer to workbook 1

Thanks!

My Idea is to first look for the matching Serial number in workbook 2 as to workbook 1; and then look for the respecitive description whether it is a contract fee or a maintenance fee, and then the amount in workbook 2 goes to workbook 1 respectively. perhaps a if and lookup formula might help? and set some condition with the contract fee or maintanence fee?
