<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an xls file called &quot;Masterlist&quot; that has hundreds of contacts, i.e. Member ID, first name, last name, phone, and email in respective columns/rows.<br />
<br />
I have another xls template that only contains Member ID in a column. &nbsp;I need a formula/method to auto fill/populate the remaining info, i.e. first name, last name, phone, and email per row that matches Member ID on the template file from the Masterlist xls file. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm assuming it's a vlookup or lookup formula, but need a bit more direction and most efficient method.

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.
