Excel - formula for two workbooks -
i have sheet 1 in workbook 2 has numbers in column , locations numbers in column b. type number in column in workbook 1 sheet 1 , find number on workbook 2 sheet 1 column automatically put location in corresponding column b cell on workbook 1. want type number in column , tell me location in column b master list (workbook 2). possible? know both workbooks have open.
you can use vlookup formula in wb 1 sheet 1 cell b1 (assuming number in a1) this:
=vlookup(a1,'[workbook 2.xlsx]sheet1'!$a$1:$b$50,2,false)
if range not fixed number of rows, can swap $a$1:$b$50 a:b.
this assumes each number exists once in column of workbook 2, sheet 1.
create cell reference both workbooks open, won't need workbook 2 open reference work after (the full file path referenced).
hope helps
