Hi an

then try
=INDEX($A$1:$B$3,MATCH(C1,$B$1:$B$3,0),1)

this will return a #NA error if the value is not found in
column B

to deal with this you can do something along the lines of
=IF(ISNA(INDEX($A$1:$B$3,MATCH
(C1,$B$1:$B$3,0),1)),"",INDEX($A$1:$B$3,MATCH
(C1,$B$1:$B$3,0),1))

which says if the value in column C is not found in
column B then return
"nothing" otherwise match the values.

Hope this helps
Cheers

Ooops!

The formulae work fine...

But, If to exist in "C" column a string without
corresponding in "B" Column, the corresponding value
in "D" Column, up one row (?).

How is it possible to correct this, please?
=IF(...

Many thanks.

Hi an

in D1 the formula would be
=LOOKUP(C1,$B$1:$B$3,$A$1:$A$3)

this formula can then be copied down column D

Hope this helps
Cheers

Ok.
Thanks for your reply.
I Have a block in A1:B3 (only) with corresponding
numeric
values in "A" and strings in "B" Column.
But:
I have a block in C1:C1000 with strins.
Now:
I would like a formulae to put in D1:D1000, where
numerical values they were corresponding the same
string
for comparison between "A" and "B" columns.

Thanks.

Hi

could you provide a bit more detail ... in rows 1 &2
you
have information in
columns A, B, C and D - where C & D is the reverse of
A
&
B. However, in
row 3 this doesn't hold true. Then in rows 4 through
9
as far as i can tell
you have data in columns C & D
so i'm not really sure what you mean by a result in
column D.

Cheers

4 ccc 12
5 ccc 12
6 aaa 10
7 bbb 11
