Excel 2002: Can Vlookup search at left hand side of the table?
Dear Sir,
Is there a way to lookup for data at the left hand side of the search value? I try using =VLOOKUP (A1,C$20:D22,-2,FALSE) as illustrated below, but it does not work. A B Lookup value Data (Answer) 1 ND000236 =VLOOKUP (A1,C$20:D$22,-2,FALSE) Answer : PKHLK050 2 ND000237 Look up table A B C D 20 PKHLK050 05/04/2007 ND000236 (155.00) 21 PKHLB390 18/04/2007 ND000237 200.00 22 PKHLT041 18/04/2007 ND000238 50.00 Is there any other formulas for this function , other than relocating column A at the right hand side of column C and applying the formula in the usual way ? (i.e. column index number must be = 1) Thanks Low -- A36B58K641 |

Think it's easier to use INDEX/MATCH here ..
Try in B1: =INDEX($A$20:$A$22,MATCH(A1,$C$20:$C$22,0)) Copy down -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Mr. Low" wrote: Dear Sir, Is there a way to lookup for data at the left hand side of the search value?
