Help Please

[cynder77]

I am tired of filling in data that already exists in my spreadsheet ove
and over . I have a column of model numbers that tend to repea
fairly often since I am tracking shipping discrepancies. I am als
tracking the cost per peice of each model. I would like the cost t
automatically fill in if the model exists higher in the table.

EG:

COLUMN E = Models, COLUMN G = Cost per peice.

If cell E1 = E4 then cell G1 = G4

Cell range starts on row 3 after my column headings and runs down t
anywhere from row 250 to 700 depending on how bad the month was. Th
Cost (Column G) is formatted as currency if that makes a difference.
The Cost is also referenced in another column, also formatted a
currency, to calculate total cost of the discrepancy.

Any help any of you could provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Dave,
If you are not familiar with the following would suggest to
get familiar with them.
1) Basic assignment and calculation formulas.

2) Use of the fill handle, to copy formulas and formatting down or across

and the one I think you are not already familiar with...
*3) Use of VLOOKUP to get values out of a table
