Default Text and Numeric lookup


Hi Cynthia,

In sheet 2, col D, insert a lookup formula... =VLOOKUP(A2,[the range
of data in Sheet1),4,FALSE

So, for the house number, you would have =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!
A1:D1000,4,FALSE)

This picks up the ID# in your awards sheet, compares it to the range
you've specified, to find the ID number in the first column of the
adresses sheet, then finds the entry in column 4 of that range. The
"FALSE" at the end of the formula ensures that if no exact match is
found, an #N/A error results.

Hope that helps

Phil
