Autofill data from another sheet
Hello,
I am trying to autofill the instructor number from another sheet based on the assigned instructor on the calendar sheet. In the screenshot example: I want "InstA - Code" to autofill with the corresponding number for the name entered in "InstA - Name". "InstA - Code" value should be pulled from another sheet. Is VLOOKUP the correct formula to use? I've tried multiple times but keeps coming back with invalid data.

Hello @Mandy Hahn You can use VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH.
If you could post your VLOOKUP formula, with the referenced table, that would be helpful.
-
=VLOOKUP({NHI Instructors/IDIQ Team Range 2})
I feel like I'm missing an important element....

What I really need is an example of a formula accomplishing the same goal.

Hi @Mandy Hahn
I hope you're well and safe!
Here's the VLOOKUP structure.
=VLOOKUP(CellThatHaveTheValueToMatch@row,{RangeThatHaveTheValueToMatch*}, ColumnNumberWithTheValueYouWantToShow, 0)
*Where the first column is the ColumnWithTheValueToMatchAgainsTheCell
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
