Hello ERICA,
Here, I’m showing a way to solve your problem. I believe this will help you on this matter.
I’ve prepared a dummy file with 20 products. Assume it is the File from Wholesaler.

On the other hand, the following is your own Excel sheet that you maintain for the Site. For convenience, I kept the columns blank.

Here, I just gave some SKU code in Column B and the other data will be extracted from the File from Wholesaler. So, let’s see it.
? Firstly, open both files in Excel.
? Secondly, go to the File for Website.
? Now, select cell C5 and enter the VLOOKUP function.
=VLOOKUP(B5,

Here, B5 is the lookup_value that we want to search for.
? Then, move to the other workbook File from Wholesaler.
? Here, select the whole range of data. In this case, I selected data in the B4:E24 range. This is the table_array argument of the function.

? Afterward, we want to know the name of the Product corresponding to this code. And the Products are in the 2nd column of this table array. So, we wrote down 2 as col_index_num.
=VLOOKUP(B5,Wholesaler.xlsx!Product,2)

? Following this, press ENTER.

You can see the result in cell C5.
? Thenceforth, double-click on the Fill Handle.

? And get the full result in the following cells.

You can retrieve the value in other columns in the same method. Just you have to change the col_index_num in the formula. See how we wrote the formula to get the value of Sales.
=VLOOKUP(B5,Wholesaler.xlsx!Product,4)

So, I think this would be enough to help you. Otherwise, you can go through the article How to Link Two Workbooks in Excel to do the same task in multiple ways. Please follow our website, ExcelDemy, a one-stop Excel solution provider, to explore more.
