  • After thinking about it, I may be trying to do too much. What would probably be just is easy is have the employee put in their ID number in the ID column, but then I would like it to auto populate the name column with their name. I'm thinking an index match formula would work for that, but I'm not sure how the formula should look.

    Once you create the reference table of names in one column and ids in another, the INDEX/MATCH would look like:

    =INDEX({Reference Sheet Name Column}, MATCH([ID #]@row, {Reference Sheet ID Column}, 0))
