OK....so I am struggling with this vlookup. Perhaps I can not do what I want to do. Any comments would be helpful.
I have a sheet that has customer number and customer name. Customer number is auto generated and is sequential. CU1000033 is my number. Name XYZ Sports Academy.
I have a pitcher that uses XYZ Sports Academy to practice in and I want them to link their "home" practice facility into the pitchers records.....so I produce a drop down for the pitcher to select the correct name.
I also have the customer number in the pitchers record as well as the coach number that he/she practices with. I have a drop down in the pitcher record to record the coach name also.
I am trying to use the Coach master file and the Customer Master file to automatically fill in the Customer Number and the CoachID using vlookup from the other sheets. I have an exact match in customer name and coach name in the pitcher file.
I thought I could select the row and column and
use this formula =vlookup(customername,CustomerMaster,1,true) hoping it would match the Customer Name from both files and return the customer number to me ......
I am very new to this so any suggestions on what I am doing wrong...or can I do what I am trying to do at all......Tom
