Need help with formula to automatically fill in Contact List from another column
Hello,
I have the following columns and sheets and I just cannot seem to figure out how to do what I need.
- Sheet 1 (Main Sheet)
- Staff Listing (value is Text Full Name coming in from outside source)
- All Staff (Contact List selector (assigned to))
- Sheet 2 (reference Sheet)
- Technician Name - Contains full name
- Email Address - contains email address
I need to fill in the All Staff contact list automatically based on the Staff Listing value.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Got it!
My problem was I was using an email address in the other column but it needed to be a contact list just like what I was trying to Match it to
So I used:
=VLOOKUP([Staff Listing]@row, {Reference Sheet}, 2, False)
{Reference Sheet} I created a reference in the column with the Name and the contact lookup in the Directory sheet and column 2 was the contact list.

I hope you're well and safe!
I'd be happy to take a quick look.
Can you maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)
Or, if you prefer, I'd be happy to share an example.
Please send me an email at andree@workbold.com, and I'll share it with you.
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,
