Card Game Spreadsheet
Hi all! Suppose I have a real-life card game with 100 cards. Each card has a Card Title, Attack, Defense, Element type and Level. e.g. The Warrior ATK: 2000 DEF: 1000 Element: Water Level: 6 I have designed a spreadsheet for people to design a deck of 20 cards with columns to reflect each of the attributes above. A=Name, B=ATK etc etc Instead of a user having to go through each cell and fill out the relevant information I want to enable the user to begin typing the name of the card and excel should reach a certain amount of characters before knowing what card it is and give the user the option to hit return to auto-fill the cell. This in itself isn't a problem as I know I can type a list of cards directly above the cell to be typed into and Hide those Cells so that when a user starts typing, it auto-fills that cell. The problem occurs because I'd like to be able to fill in Column B, C, D and E with the relevant information for the card name entered. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Yes, Use the Vlookup function which can look up the characteristics based on the value in another column. jeff -----Original Message----- Hi all! Suppose I have a real-life card game with 100 cards.

however the table_array would need to be in columns across the page
e.g. A B C D E Card Title Attack Defense Element type Level or HLOOKUP can be used if it is down rows Card Title Attack Defense Element Type Level but then all the different cards titles etc need to be across columns from A to IV using VLOOKUP the formula would be similar to =VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, match_type) =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A2:E102,2,0) where A1 is the card that your players have chosen, sheet2!A2:E102 is the list of cards as outlined above, 2 is the column number of the piece of data you want to return & 0 means you want to do an exact match. Remember the 1st parameter (lookup_value) must be the leftmost column in the table_array (2nd parameter) Hope this helps Cheers JulieD "jeff" wrote in message ...
