Hi Ram,

Looks like you are in need of the VLOOKUP formula.

=VLOOKUP(1,2,3)
1: the cell/value you want to lookup. The barcode from sheet2
2: the matrix you want to look in. All the data from sheet1
3: the column you want to retrieve info from. For description 2, for quantity 3.

Select the matrix in the formula and hit F4 to make the reference absolute, do this for easy dragging.

Please post back if you get stuck (or to say thank you).

Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Barcode,

It is possible to change color of newly added values.

More info is needed though.
What will the destination be for the barcodes (example column A)?
Do you want to color cell or letters?

To get you started, the following code will color the cell red whenever a value is added in column A: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Columns("A:A")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End Sub

To use code, right-click on the sheets tab (name) and select view code. Paste code and try it out.

Best regards,
Trowa
