Any Excel Pros?

I'm trying to find an excel function that will take data from one sheet and place it into another when there are values in those cells.

Basically, there is a general parts pricing estimating sheet that is huge and you have to sweep through the whole thing to find which cells have values. Is there a function that will search the page and bring up only the cells with values?

I'm positive that I could help but I'm having a hard time understanding what you're trying to do.

You can use the function =len()
=len() counts the # of characters in a cell...if there are no values, it will be return 0.
You can filter to not include 0. Let me know if this helps.

Look up vlookup function. I think that's what you're looking for.

You can also use = CONCATENATE ()

Edit: the more I think about it, vlookup would be better. The above is more to put together two different values into one cell.

I'm sorry, it's kind of hard to spit out but I think I may be on the right track with VLOOKUP().

What I need to do it is create a sheet that will list the quantity of the products used for a specific job. If say, products A-Z are available for a job but only products A,B,D,G,T,Z were used. VLOOKUP() would search through products A-Z and show all the quantities and list everything that was not used as 0 and list the quantities for A,B,D,G,T,Z. This sound correct?

ok here is a generic screen shot of what I'm working on. Sheet 1 is the sheet from the job and Sheet 2 is the one I'm making. I used VLOOKUP() to auto fill Sheet 2's quantities for the products reflected from Sheet 1.

Use FALSE in the vlookup to make sure you only get exact matches. You can use an ISERROR to fill 0 or "" if the vlookup comes back with an error or blanks.

both SUMIF and VLOOKUP should work for your purposes.

Use index and match functions. Next step from vlookup...
