Hi Owen,

You'd use cross-sheet formulas to make that work.

Either VLOOKUP or a combination of INDEX/MATCH.

Would that work?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Thank you for the quick reply. My return error is "No Match". I reference just one column on the reference sheet and cell is auto populated. The Quote@row cell is Text/Number. I have 1528 in the ref sheet but again no match.

=VLOOKUP(Quote@row, {RFQ list Range 2}, 1, false)

Thank you,

Owen

Happy to help!

Can you share the sheets? Much easier to help that way!
