Default How best to...?


SWEEEEET!!!

Thanks Bernie, this gave me exactly what I was looking for.

I am now off to find out everything I can about the 'SUMPRODUCT'
function so I know exactly what it is doing!

It amazes me how you guys can figure this out in such a short time
while I have struggled for DAYS with it. Guess that's why you're the
MVP & get paid the big bucks Blink1

This place is the BEST...luv

Thanks~

Trixie,

This seems to work okay - I'm assuming that all your numeric values are
in
column P....

=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$K$8:$O$26=R119)*(Sheet1!$P$8: $P$26))

HTH,

...

Why am I thinking of work stuff on the weekend?!?

I'm hoping someone out there has something to teach a newer user.

This
is a super group that seems to be very patient.

*Sheet1*: I have a table that is 6x19 - $K$8:$P$26. There could be
values in any of the fields, and their location within the table

could
be anywhere.

K|L|M|N|O|P
OPB|OPC|IPC|OFA|OFB|810
IPA|OFE|IPD||876
OPA|OPD|IPE||878
IPB|IFE|IFD||804

The 3 digit alpha values would not be duplicated in $K$8:$O$26.

*Sheet2*: I need to take the value of a cell (say R119 is OFE,

although
there will be a number of them throughout Sheet2) find a match in

Sheet1
$K$8:$O$26 ($L$9) of the and return a corresponding value from

Sheet1
$P$8:$P$26 ($P$9 - 876) that is on the same row as the Sheet2 R119
value.

Vlookup is really the only function I have used up until now, but I
tried to pull some formulas together after viewing the Contextures

site
(probably even some really creative, never before tried combinations
:Bgr ) using Index, Match, Vlookup & derivatives of, but have not

been
successful. Unless my lookup value is in column K, which then

returns
my numeric value.

Any insight would be greatly appreciate...my Excel VBA for dummies

is
on order at my local bookstore. I am not necessarily looking for VBA

on
this, just hoping a few functions will do the trick.

Thanks~
