MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / April 2007How do I make a master look-up list in Excel?
I would like to make a master list in excel for all of my other worksheets to be able to access to save myself a bunch of typing time. Example, if i have in my master list Column A Column B Column C Code Product Price 1020.100 Permit A 150.00 1020.200 Permit B 200.00 i would like to be able to simply type 1020.100 into column A and have column's B and C filled in. Is this possible, and if it is, how do i go about getting it set up? One way: Say your master list is in a worksheet named Master. Then in your working sheet: A1: 1020.100 B1: =VLOOKUP(A1, Master!A:C,2,FALSE) C1: =VLOOKUP(A1, Master!A:C,3,FALSE) > I would like to make a master list in excel for all of my other worksheets to > be able to access to save myself a bunch of typing time.

Did you try it? > but will i be able to pull up the information if it is in a different > workbook and that workbook is not opened? Your ORIGINAL post should have mentioned another workBOOK. The easiest way to do this is to make a defined name range in the destination workbook that refers to the workbook/worksheet/range in the source workbook. ='[workbook.xls]sheet name'!$D$1:$F$23  SignatureDon Guillett SalesAid Software dguillett1@austin.rr.com > but will i be able to pull up the information if it is in a different > workbook and that workbook is not opened?
