First, make sure in your Zip & county spreadsheet, that the zipcode column is before the county column.
As an example, lets say on the zip & county spreadsheet, the zipcode is located in Column A, and the county is located in column B.
And, on the ticket buyer spreadsheet, the zipcode is located in column G, and you want the county to go in Column H
Click in the first cell on your ticket buyer spreadsheet in the county column where you want the information to go (H2), then click the fx on your formula bar, and select VLookup
In the Function Arguments popup, click in the "Lookup_Value" cell, and highlight Column G or the column your zipcodes are located in the ticket buyer spreadsheet.
Next, click in the Table_Array cell, and go to your zip & county spreadsheet, then highlight Columns A&B
Next, click in the Col_index_num cell, and type 2
Next, click in the Range_lookup cell, and type false
Click Ok, and the first county should appear in H2 of your ticket buyer spreadsheet.
If you click and drag, it should copy the same formula so that it populates the county for the remainder of your ticket buyers.
To make sure the information in your ticketbuyer does not change, highlight the column, right-click, copy, then paste special values.
Hope this helps!!
