Hi
I need an excel sheet in which the next column gets automatically filled the moment existing cell is filled.Suppose, I have 10 employee names and the moment I fill the entire 10 rows with the names, the next column with the Employee ID gets automatically for the corresponding names.
thank you

Hi JyotirmoyGuha,

The VLOOKUP formula will look for a value (employee name) in a matrix (a table with employee names and ID's) and then return the value of a chosen column in the matrix.

Try it and let us know if and where you get stuck.

If I didn't understood you correctly then please provide a sample of your data for better understanding.

Best regards,
Trowa
