can anyone offer guidance on trying to take one smaller
worksheet with specific numbers without attached costs
and match it to a larger worksheet containing the same
part numbers and then drop in the matching cost on the
smaller worksheet?
 
Take a look at VLOOKUP in the help part of the function icon, ie click on the function wizard,
select the VLOOKUP function and then hit help in the dialog box and you will get an example.

With your part number on your smaller sheet in A1, in cell B1 put

=VLOOKUP(A1,'Sheet 1'!$A$1:$B$100,2,0)

which will look up the value in A1 in the large list on sheet 1 in the range A1:B100 (Assumes
part numbers in Col A on sheet 1 and prices in B), and then give the corresponding value on the
same row from the 2nd column in that table, ie Col B. The 0 is important as it forces an exact
match, as there are times when close enough will do.

Then just copy cell B1 on your smaller sheet and paste down as far as you need in Col B

If you have problems then post back with exact ranges and file/sheet names and we can give you the
formulas.
 
I am sorry I must be doing something wrong. I have a
worksheet named "Small quote sheet" (has apx 900 rows) in
that worksheet I have specific part numbers starting with
A1 and going down column A, B1 is open. I have another
worksheet named "Master list w-cost" (has apx 6200 rows).
The part numbers also start in A1 and run down column A
with the price starting in B1 and running down column B.
I want to pull the price from the Master list and drop
the correct price into the smaller list. Please
help...Thank you

On your small quote sheet in cell B1 put the following formula:-

=VLOOKUP(A1,'Master list w-cost'!$A$1:$B$6200,2,0)

Then just copy the cell, select B2:B900 and paste.
