Thumbs up Answer: Vlookup with Data Filter

Hi Wayne!

Yes, it is possible to use the data filter to select a value and have it appear in column B4 using the Vlookup formula. Here are the steps to do it:
  1. Click on the cell B4 where you want the result to appear.
  2. Type the Vlookup formula: =VLOOKUP(value, range, column, FALSE)
  3. Replace "value" with the cell reference of the value you want to lookup. For example, if you want to lookup the value in cell A2, you would type A2 instead of "value".
  4. Replace "range" with the range of cells that contains the data you want to lookup. In your case, it would be A10:M2000.
  5. Replace "column" with the column number that contains the data you want to return. For example, if you want to return the data in column 3, you would type 3 instead of "column".
  6. Make sure to set the fourth argument to FALSE to ensure an exact match is found.
  7. Press Enter to complete the formula.

Now, to use the data filter to select a value, follow these steps:
  1. Click on the filter button in the header of the column that contains the value you want to lookup.
  2. Select the value you want to lookup from the dropdown list.
  3. The result should now appear in cell B4.
