Excel - Finding Data in one Column and showing the values in the corresponding column

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to come up with the right formula for this... I hope it'll be clear!

I have 2 sheets in my Excel. The first has Active IDs (~500 rows). The Second has All IDs, active & inactive with a dollar value associated to each member (~1200 rows)

What I want is for Excel to take the ID in the First Sheet with all the Active ID, find it in the 2nd sheet and return the $value.

So that when I look at Sheet 1, I see the Unique ID associated with their respective $value.

Thanks!

Solution

  • This can be done with a lookup function, for example Vlookup.

    If your IDs are in column A, you can use

    =vlookup(A1,'Sheet 2'!$A:$B,2,false)

    In Words: Find the value in A1 on Sheet 2 in column A and return what is in column B (the 2nd column).

    Copy down.
