asked on
lookup values from 1 field/sheet and set values in other sheet
Folks
I need a code that based on a value in field A2 (Sheet 1) goes and looks up a value in column A ( sheet 2 ) and set's the value of that exact
opposite row/col field in sheet 2 in column b to a specific value
i.e.
if
Sheet 1 a2 = 'germany'
then look in column a in sheet 2 for values "capital" ,"currency", "language" and set the value on sheet 2 in the opposite colum to
"berlin","euro","german"
Sheet 1 a2 = 'italy'
then look in column a in sheet 2 for values "capital" ,"currency", "language" and set the value on sheet 2 in the opposite colum to
"rome","euro","italian"
Sheet 1 a2 = 'usa'
then look in column a in sheet 2 for values "capital" ,"currency", "language" and set the value on sheet 2 in the opposite colum to
"washingtondc","dollar","e
attached a file sample where germany was selected

I don't think your example has attached properly?
And! Do you need a macro to do this, or just vlookups?
ASKER
macro will do thanks
Can you please attach the sample file.

see attached

Where are the details of each country stored? It can't just pull this from thin air.
I type "Australia" in A2... where does the details for sheet2 come from? Are they hardcoded, on another sheet, or in a database somewhere?
You may be able to use the VLOOKUP function or array formulas if you have this info in the spreadsheet

Hi Rob
they are hardcoded (just to keep it simple)
they are hardcoded (just to keep it simple)
Can you post an example of how they are hardcoded and i'll knock up a formula for you
ASKER
rob, i just think 2 colums will be sufficient i.e. if captil =berlin in a2 b2 respectively
Ok i've knocked up a simple demo
on Sheet 2 you can select a country from a drop down list, which will automatically populate the table below it
