Look up across sheets

Write a lookup whose table sits on another sheet, with the sheet name, quotes, $ signs and room for new rows right.

Confident · 8 min · 7 steps

In this lesson

  • Another sheet's range: SheetName!$A$2:$D$50.
  • Lock lookup tables with $ before copying the formula down.
  • Run the range past the last row (to row 50, say) so new rows are found; empty rows don't hurt an exact match.
