Match 2 colums in 2 excel sheets and paste a third - excel

Question

I have two excel sheets both with matching product numbers. What I need to do is match the product numbers and then copy a column from the first sheet to the second.
My example:
Column C in the first sheet contains product numbers
Column A in the second sheet contains product numbers
I want to match C & A and then copy column B from the first to the second sheet.
Sorry if this has been answered before, my knowledge is basic but I am trying to learn
Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Assuming your numbers to match start in C2 (headers in row 1) and numbers to copy in AC2 on Sheet1, this should do what you want. Paste it into AC2 on Sheet2 and then drag copy to the length of column A on Sheet2.
=IF(IFNA(MATCH(A2,Sheet1!C:C,0), FALSE), INDIRECT("Sheet1!AC"&MATCH(A2, Sheet1!C:C, 0)), "Not Found")
Note this will give "Not Found" for a value on Sheet2 which is not found on Sheet1, you can change that by just replacing the string "Not Found" in the formula with whatever you want (e.g. 0).

Answer 2

Formula:
You can use OFFSET with IF. In B1 of sheet 2 for example you could put, drag down for as many rows as required,
=IF(A1=Sheet1!C1,OFFSET(Sheet1!A1,0,COLUMNS(Sheet1!A:AC)-1,1,1))
If you set your data up as a table in sheet 2 (Ctrl + T with an populated cell selected) then add this formula to the appropriate column it will autofilter down the formula.
Or:
With code in a standard module:
Public Sub AddFormula()
Dim rng As Range
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(103, .Columns(1).Cells) > 0 Then
For Each rng In Intersect(.Columns(1), .UsedRange)
If Not IsEmpty(rng) And Not IsError(rng) Then 'assume ignore empty cells
If rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(rng.Row, "C") Then Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(rng.Row, "AC").Copy rng.Offset(, 1) 'determine where you want value to go
End If
Next rng
End If
End With
End Sub
Note:
This is based on your comment that you are comparing sheet2 col A with sheet1 col C and copying sheet1 col AC if match.

Answer 3

I assume that the product numbers in both sheets are unique. If that, I suggest use the offset and match formulas to achieve what you want.
sorry for my half-baked answer due to i just typed them with phone and it is not convenient to input complicated style, here is the additional information:
the match formula is used to query the location of the target product number in the original sheet( sheet 1 in your case above);
after we located the position of the target product number, extract the information you wanted through the offset formula.
here are the specific process:
Sheet 1 represent the original information and sheet 2 represent the target one. What we required to do is copy the info in col D of sheet 1 to col D of sheet through the product:
OFFSET($D$5,MATCH(I6,$D$5:$D$16,0)-1,1,1,1)
OFFSET($D$5,MATCH(I7,$D$5:$D$16,0)-1,1,1,1)
OFFSET($D$5,MATCH(I8,$D$5:$D$16,0)-1,1,1,1)
OFFSET($D$5,MATCH(I9,$D$5:$D$16,0)-1,1,1,1)
OFFSET($D$5,MATCH(I10,$D$5:$D$16,0)-1,1,1,1)
or you can refer to the output directly:
