Excel compare sheets find value & replace value, same row - different cell












0















Is there a way, Example:
Value 123 lives in cell A1 on sheet1
I need to find value 123 on sheet2 leave value alone but replace another cell with a set value based on what row 123 was found.



Hoping it could work like this:



123(A1 sheet1) 123 found on sheet2 in cell H13 replace A13 on sheet2 with ABC



456(A2 sheet1) 456 found on sheet2 in cell H28 replace A28 on sheet2 with ABC



Thanks so much!
