Hi, I have a workbook with 2 sheets. One is a database sent to me that contains BRANCH CODE and BRANCH columns:

The other is the sheet that I'll actually be working on:
Screen_Shot_2018_03_06_at_9_29_42_AM.png


So what I want to do is when I key in the number on the SITE COD columns, the SITE NAME column automatically gives me the BRANCH from the database.

I do know that I can use DGET by using multiple cells beyond my work space, and using those values on the SITE NAME columns. But is there a way for me to do it more easily? The reason why is that by the end of me working on this sheet, I'll have roughly 700 rows. I can't imagine having to manually assign cells for each DGET operation!

Thanks in advance.

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Seems like you could use a VLOOKUP() formula to populate the BRANCH in the SITE NAME column.
Try this in cell B2, =IF(ISBLANK(A2),"",VLOOKUP(A2,DataBase!A:B,2,FALSE))
