What happened to your previous post?..

Hi Bill

Few points

--Refer help on VLOOKUP()
--Instead of CONCATENATE() you can use the ampersand &
--You can use the LEFT() function if you are looking to extract text from
the beginning of another text

Try the below in Sheet RC cell J2 and copy down as required. If sheet RC H2
match with Sheet H cell A2 then lookup the value in cell H2 and combine the
values from Sheet RC ColD and ColF. Else..If sheet RC H2 do not match with
Sheet H cell A2 then return blank.

=IF(H!A2=H2,LEFT(VLOOKUP(H2,R!A:F,4,0),5) & " " & VLOOKUP(H2,R!A:F,6,0),"")

If you dont want the first condition to be checked then the below will do
which will straight away do the lookup and concatenate .

=LEFT(VLOOKUP(H2,R!A:F,4,0),5) & " " & VLOOKUP(H2,R!A:F,6,0)
