Excel Macro Question

[Jashbury]

My experience with macros in excel is limited at best, so bear with me.

I'm looking for a way to generate data in a column of a spreadsheet
based on the values in the first_name and last_name colums.
Essentially each of the employees have a division number assigned to
them, and rather than manually entering in the data for each employee
across several spreadsheets/workbooks I would like to run a macro in
each of them that knows "John Smith" belongs to division 4 for example.
There is a spreadsheet with only the employee name and division
number. I realize that something like this could be easily done in
Access, but I have to work with what I have. Also, I'm not sure if a
macro is even the way to go, any and all help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance
James

Use the vlookup worksheet function in the worksheet (no macro required)

See Excel help for details.
