Hello,

Hello,

Can anyone help, setting up childcare voucher scheme and have set up register in excel in sheet 1
a2- voucher no ie. 1 (unique value)
b2 - name
c2 - payroll no
d2 - childcare provider name

in sheet 2 i have made up childcare voucher that gets printed off and given to employee

Ideally in sheet2 if I type in voucher number information the rest of the information would filter into the form.

Would be so greatful for some guidance!

Hi Kermitchel,

Have you tried VLOOKUP?

To retrieve the name:
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$D$2,2)

To retrieve the payroll no:
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$D$2,3)

etc...

"A2" is the location of the voucher no on sheet 2.
"Sheet1!$A$2:$D$2" is the matrix to look at.
"2" will be the column of the matrix to retrieve info from.
Change range(s) to suits your data.

Best regards,
Trowa
