Auto complete cells from another table
For solving this job, you can combine INDEX function and MATCH function to create a formula. Select a cell that you want to auto-fill the related contents based on the value entered in column A, and copy and paste the below formula:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$E$10,MATCH($A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$10,0),MATCH(B$1,Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1,0))
Reedit the formula as your real need.
| In the formula, Sheet1! A$2:$E$10 is the table range (table 1 excludes headers) which you want to auto complete contents based on; A2 is the cell that you enter value and is used to search the related values; Sheet1!$A$2:$A$10,0 is the range in table 1 that is used to search the value you entered in table 2; B1 is the column header of the value you entered in table 2; Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1 is the header ranges in table 1. |
Press Enter key to get the first related value, then drag the auto-fill handle right to get all related values based on the A2.
Then drag the auto-fill handle down to the end of table 2, and the error values #N/A are displayed.
When you type values in column A, the error values will be replaced with the correct related values.
