Hi
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a tab that I am using as a key (Award Abbrev) that I want to use to populate cells in another tab in the same workbook (Staff Details)
I have created specific text in I2:I60 in "Award Abbrev" that on the corresponding row has values in R,U,X,AA.
On the "Staff Details" tab if the specific text is entered in the I column of that row, then the data that is found in R,U,X,AA in "Award Abbrev" will the populate in R,U,X,AA in Staff Details.
Any help would be great
Thanks Stephen

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
In sheet "Staff Details" code put
Code:
Option Explicit


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const InCol As String = "I"
Dim InColInt As Integer
Const OutCol As String = "R/U/X/AA"
Const WsRefName As String = "Award Abbrev"
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim V
    InColInt = Cells(1, InCol).Column
    If (Target.Column <> InColInt) Then Exit Sub
    For Each V In Split(OutCol, "/")
        Cells(Target.Row, V) = SearVal(Target.Value, V)
    Next V
End Sub

in a module put
You will adjust Constante as needed
Code:
Option Explicit
Function SearVal(ByVal WkVal, ByVal OutWkCol As String) As Variant
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim WkRg As Range
Dim F
Const WsName As String = "Award Abbrev"
Const WkRgAdd As String = "I2:I60"


    SearVal = ""
    Set WS = Sheets(WsName)
    Set WkRg = WS.Range(WkRgAdd)
    With WkRg
    Set F = .Find(What:=WkVal, After:=.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlValues, _
            LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
            MatchCase:=False)
    End With
    If (F Is Nothing) Then Exit Function
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    SearVal = WS.Cells(F.Row, OutWkCol)
    Application.EnableEvents = True


End Function
