Excel Master Needed! (highlighting rows and referencing different worksheets)

My question is complicated.  But here it goes...

On the worksheet "Delivered Cars," I have the VIN numbers of different cars in column G.

On the worksheet, "Lease-end," I have the VIN of all the returned cars in column B.  On the same worksheet, I have the reason why they were returned in column G.  There are 4 reasons why they are returned: early term, reg term, purchased, and insured.

On the "Delivered Cars" worksheet I would like to have a new column entitled "Returned Units."  I want the VINs on this sheet to reference the Lease-end sheet.  If the VIN is found on the Lease-end sheet, I would like it to show why it was returned in the return column (with on of those four options) of the Delivered Cars worksheet.  Not all VINs would be found on the "Lease-end" worksheet.  For those, the "returned units" column would be blank.

As an extra feature, I would like for the rows on the "delivered cars" worksheet to be highlighted in blue if they have been returned at all.  So, if the row wasn't highlighted, this means it has yet to be returned.

That's it.  I need the brilliance of an Excel Master! 

Much thanks!

Try to use this formula in the "Returned Units" column in "Delivered Cars" worksheet: (this is for the cell in line 2, replace G2 with the appropriate cell)

=IF(COUNTIF('Lease-end'!B:B,G2)>0,VLOOKUP(G2,'Lease-end'!B:G,6,FALSE),"")

About the conditional formatting: I didn't understand what you're trying to get, do you want to highlight all rows of returned cars? if so you can add conditional formatting with the condition that the value in the new column is not empty.

I can't answer your question directly, but I can suggest a better place to get answers than here.

As you know Microsoft makes more than enough money through their monopoly on sales that they don't need to spend anything on user support. 

But there are user support groups, where users help users.  I'm a major Excel user (on Macintosh, not Windows) and I get help from other people that equally despise Microsoft yet provide help anyway from...

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.excel/topics?hl=en

If you're with Windows, instead of Mac, you should be able to back-step through that URL to find similar Windows support.

 

Hope this helps!
