Hi All,
I have a xcl spreadsheet which has two worksheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2).
Sheet1 has three columns (A, B, C).
Sheet2 has 6 columns (A,B,C,D,E,F).

What I am trying to achieve is as follows
If Sheet1!A2 matches the contents of a cell in Sheet 2 column A then copy the values from Sheet2 Columns C Column F to Sheet1 Columns B and C). h
Te numbers may not be the same in column A on each sheet but the numbers in Column A of Sheet1 are unique and are in no specific order.
If there is no match to the number in Sheet1!column A then put in a 0 in the two columns (B/C) on sheet1 else fill in the numbers from Sheet2.

As an example the value in Sheet1!A3 = 3947. This corresponds to Sheet2!C5. So copy the values from sheet2 to sheet1
However the value in Sheet1!A4 does not have any matching value in Sheet2. So place a value of 0 into sheet1 columns.

I hope I explained it properly.

Cheers Tony
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Sorry guys I forgot to mention I have tried the VLOOKUP function but get an #ref error

What I used was
=VLOOKUP(Sheet1!A3,Sheet2'!A6:A1000,2,0)

The first field is the value to compare against on sheet1
The second field is the range I am searching in sheet2
The third field is the column number (which is C)
The fourth field is exact match

I am stuck now.
Cheers
