Trying to Work with the VLOOKUP Function but hitting a wall
I'm attempting to access a separate sheet with some contact details for various clients.
On my CLIENT SHEET I have 8 columns:
Licensee, Billing Company, Contact, Contact Email, Street, City, State, Zip
On my PROJECT SHEET I have various other project details, but one column is also named "licensee".
In the Licensee column, I can select from a number of values that directly match values in the "Licensee" column on the CLIENT SHEET
What I would like is for the corresponding contact, email, city, state, zip, etc... cells on my PROJECT SHEET to automatically fill in based on the Licensee entered, and the matching data from the CLIENT SHEET.
I'd show you some code, but I really don't have much to share. VLOOKUP confuses me.
Any help greatly appreciated

Many of the more experienced users (i.e. not me) on this forum recommend the use of INDEX/MATCH in place of VLOOKUP.
Here is a post that explains the use: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/36341/index-and-match
Once worked out, it's a winner!
