I have an excel spreadsheet having information in two sheets i.e. sheet 1 and sheet 2
Sheet 1 has 3 columns.
Column A (Description) consists of repetitive values
Column B (Job Title) Blank cells {Information needs to be populated from Sheet 2}
Column C (University) Blank cells {Information needs to be populated from Sheet 2}

Sheet 2 has 3 columns
Column A (Description) consists of only unique values which are repetitively appearing in Sheet 1 Column A
Column B consist of Job Titles
Column C consists of University names
Matching both Sheet 1 & 2 column A, I am looking for formula to auto populate values in column B & C of sheet 1. Example is below:
[TABLE="width: 702"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Description
[/TD]
[TD]Job Title
[/TD]
[TD]University
[/TD]

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Code:
=VLOOKUP($A$2,Sheet2!$A$2:$C$10,2,FALSE)
- Job Titles
Code:
=VLOOKUP($A$2,Sheet2!$A$2:$C$10,3,FALSE)
- University

Sheet1[TABLE="width: 346"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Description[/TD]
[TD]Job Title[/TD]
[TD]University[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Assoc Minho University[/TD]
[TD]Professor[/TD]
[TD]Minho University[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Sheet2
[TABLE="width: 334"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Description[/TD]
[TD]Job Title[/TD]
[TD]University[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Assoc Minho University[/TD]
[TD]Professor[/TD]
[TD]Minho University[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

For what I understood, description is unique, so I went for search on Sheet2 each "Description" and then get the correspondent Jobtitle and University.

Is that want you were looking for?
