Great help, thanks! One note that wasn't mentioned. In the second (lookup) worksheet, apparently the matching field MUST be not only sorted, as you mentioned before, but the first column. Took some amount of trial and error to figure that out for me.
@stacydrennan Weird, I just tested that, and it worked in any number of columns... I have been for a while now, with multiple lookups in different columns/rows..
@Firchild - Hmmm, it's very possible I did something wrong, but when I tried it in its default location (col 4 I think), it always defaulted to the very last record. Every field had the value of the final entry. Once I moved it to Column A, it suddenly filled everything out correctly.
@thering25 One way is a logical formula. Just take the column letters and muliply. ex: CF is 3x26 + 6 = 84. (C is third letter, F is the sixth letter). Now, if you're highlighted area does not start with column A, just subtract the difference that you've moved over. If you're for some reason using 3 letter columns, the math is (for AAA) 1x676 + 1x26 + 1 = 703
Thank you sir. I'm rally love it.
