Default Lookup function and compare

Good Morning
I can't use the filter for the following resons:

sheet2 contains User2 (contains the list of 194 users), Type, Date, Time
columns
I inserted User1 column (contains the list of 80 users) and these are the
users that i want
The result column is where I applied the Vlookup formula

If I filter the result column and delete all the N/A the problem is that my
results are not displayed next to their row.
look at the exapmle below
user @Y118 is on row 5 and the result column is displayed on row 3. If I
filter NA from the result column i will be deleting row 5 which has the data
for user @Y118

1 uSER1 uSER2 TYPE RESULT DATE
TIME
2 @Y040 @Y530 BSYS #N/A 2/8/2006 8:48:00
3 @Y118 @Y042 BSYS @Y118 2/14/2006 13:51:00
4 @Y131 @Y072 BSYS #N/A 1/20/2006 10:21:00
5 @Y133 @Y118 BSYS #N/A 1/17/2006 7:13:00

what i really need is a function like the Vlookup function that will be done
on a new sheet and that will match the User1 and User2 and copy the entire
row of matched row of User2

Please Advice thank you I really appreciate the effort

Hi,

On Sheet2 after you have an *N/A list, select a cell in row 1, then
Data, Filter, Autofilter, and use the dropdown arrow to select all *N/A
items.

Select all displayed rows (complete rows all together), COPY, and paste
into Sheet 1 after your present data.

Thank you for the fast respond that solved the matching problem
However, sheet2 is a table and upon finding the exact match for the
column I
need to copy the entire row to sheet1
what function may i use for this
thank you again

Try vlookup(A1:sheet2!A1:A100,1,False)

or better

=vlookup(A1:sheet2!A:A,1,False)

and the items flagged #N/A are your missing list

Hello All,
I am merging two work sheets

the first sheet contains 80 rows and the second sheet contains 194

rows
and
some of these rows are duplicated in sheet 2.

I am using Lookup to determine if the 80 rows from sheet 1 exist

in
sheet 2.
So far the lookup function works fine.
However, if a row in sheet 1 is missing in sheet 2 i get the next
larger
value and i don't want that.
when I further resarched it I found the following note about

lookup
function.

"If LOOKUP can't find the lookup_value, it matches the largest

value
in
lookup_vector that is less than or equal to lookup_value. "

1)I need help with the following:
is there any other function that i can use to return 0 if the value

in
sheet
1 is not found in sheet2
2)How can I accomidate the duplicate values in sheet2 ...I do want
these
values to be duplicated in my results too

thank you in advance
