Hi there friends,

I have a excel spread sheet that i am using to keep track of sales.

What i need is a formula or function that will check a list of companies and return their tax code.

If i enter "company name" into Col1, Col2 should be filled automaticly by retrieving the tax code from the list of companies.


Thank you in advance for any assistance!

i found the answers on the forum just after i posted, HOWEVER,

I need to be able to copy and paste the formula down a column of 1000 without the entire forumula changing.

the current formula is
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A2:C1000, 2, FALSE)


however when i copy and paste it to the next cell it becomes
=VLOOKUP(A3,Sheet2!A3:C1001, 2, FALSE)


I need it to become
=VLOOKUP(A3,Sheet2!A2:C1000, 2, FALSE)


there must be a special paste function built into excel? i hope.

thank you for your response & time.

ok, after some more digging, i found the answer.

if i put =VLOOKUP(A3,777, 2, FALSE) in the cell
copy it down, then do a find & replace for 777, replace with Sheet2!A2:C1000


hehe.
