Dear Sir,

I wish to lookup reference in B255:B550 for the columnar values from Day 1
to day 26 in table 1.

Table 1

* * * * * A * * * * B * * * * *C * *-- *AA * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * *Day 1 * Day 2 * * Day 26 * * * * * * * *
1 * * * B129 * *XXX * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
2 * * * H451 * *XXX * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
5 * * * K987 * *XXX * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
250 * T289 * *XXX * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Lookup * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Day 1 * * * Day2 * * *Day 26 * * * *
255 * * * * * * L224 * *=Vlookup() * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
256 * * * * * * T189 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
550 * * * * * * B129

Usually I enter =VLOOKUP($B255,$A$1:$AA$250,2,False) at cell C255 and copy
across to the last column at day 26.

After that I need to change the column reference for formula for each day
i.e. from 2 up to 27. *Next I would copy the first row downwards to cover the
entire block C255:AB550. After this I would get the result.

This is a tedious task.

Is there any method for the row reference to increase automatically as I
copy the formula across ?

Alternatively, is there any other more suitable formulas that I could use to
make the work more easier?

Thanks

Low
