Multiple Work Sheets

[Daniell]

I have a project that involves 6 worksheets all in the same workbook. What I
need to do is get data from all the worksheet by a part number which is
common in all the worksheets. For example the driver worksheet has a
partnumber and datein field. The second worksheet has the partnumber,
storenumber, reorder point, leadtime, and others. The third worksheet has
the quanity, cost of last purchase, date of last purchase, cost at previous
purchase, date of previous purchase and so on. The fourth worksheet has the
partnumber, and all of the different other partnumbers that make the primary
partnumber.

I guess to make a long story short is there a function that I can use to
read the first worksheet partnumber and then go to the second, third, fourth
and so on and place all the data in another worksheet with all the cell from
previous worksheets rerquested?

That in advance for the help.

The VLookup formula does what you want. Look it up in Help. However,
using the VLookup formula when you have lots of data can be messy. If you
have a great deal of data, I would recommend a VBA solution. Post back if
this interests you. HTH Otto

The amount of lookups I would have at one time may be 125. I am not sure if
that would be to much or not. Each of the worksheets have arount 300 rows
with 15 to 23 colums.

Do you mean 125 VLookups for each part number?? I recommend the VBA
solution. It is simple and easy to change. If you wish, send me direct a
small file with a sample of what you have to start with and what you want to
finish with. I'll work up something for you to work with. Also tell me the
version of Excel that you are using.
