Oh man you explain this so good!
I was wondering if this was possible
I have 2 columns
Both with drop down selections
One for company one for status
I was wondering
If i have a bunch of tabs
Could I for example grab
Company drop down = untied
Status drop down = done
From all the tabs
And have it grab the “address” column for everything that has the drop down columns set to “united” & “done”
And have it populate in a new tab for an invoice?

My boyfriend has a company and he does jobs for different companies and some of them require him to submit his invoice for each pay period.
It would be so nice if I could have it go through each employees tab and grab the address needed for the invoice and have it automatically populate on a different tab so he could make an invoice that saves him time and to ensures he doesn’t miss anything.
I’m just trying to help him so he can run his small business more efficiently

I feel like this VLOOKUP might be the solution I’m looking for but just wanted to get your opinion to see if it would work
