Import Data per Row/Column, Based on ID Number
Is there a way to import data a row at a time based on matching the ID number of a column? (Using formulas or queries in the second header row.)

I'm working on several collecting spreadsheets. The goal is that there will be a checklist template that people case use where they can edit some columns. But other columns will auto-populate data based on catalog numbers that match the catalog numbers of a master list. For example...

I made a simplified version of what I'm trying to do that anyone can edit...

Master Database List:

User Checklist:

As you can see, some columns are fine for the user to edit information about their collection. But other more universal information should automatically import based on matching Catalog IDs. *If possible, it would be especially helpful if the user could still do normal column sorting.

Is this possible? Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you.
