Picking and copying data from another sheet

[marcidee]

Please can someone help with a formula or VBA script.


I have one workbook (payslip sort) that contains several sheets (one sheet per person that contains a breakdown of their pay) - I have another workbook (payslip macro) that contains a list of names in column A and next to their names in Column B their email address.


Is it possible to have a code that looks up the name on each sheet in (payslip sort) which can be find in A2 (see below example) - and search for that name in the other worksheet (payslip macro) (the list at present located in sheet2 - however this can be moved if that is a problem or even added to the main worksheet) - and copy the email address to i1 in payslip sort.

Hello,

Isn't it just a case of having a VLOOKUP?

i.e. = VLOOKUP(A2,(payslip macro, sheet 2 cols A & B),2,0)

you will need to change (payslip macro, sheet 2 cols A & B) to the actual workbook range.
