I have a spreadsheet that I use to track laptops and users of those laptops. I would like to be able to scan a users id card (with a barcode scanner) and have that scanned data correlate to information such as the name of the user. The scanned data is unique to the individual and I can create a database where that data is matched to the full name of the user in a different part of the spreadsheet; the question is, how can I use that to automatically populate a specific field in the spreadsheet with the name?

    VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH are likely candidates but it's hard to say with no sample data
