You need 2 formulas in 2 cells.

Actually, you can enter 1 formula in 1 cell and then just drag copy across
to the other cell.

Try this:

=VLOOKUP(lookup_value,$A$1:$C$3,COLUMNS($A:B),0)

Now just drag copy across to the other cell.

If the lookup_value is a reference to a cell make at least the column
reference absolute:

H1 = lookup_value

=VLOOKUP($H1,$A$1:$C$3,COLUMNS($A:B),0)

hi

can use vlookup function to return with 2 columns value ?

example:

A B C
1 H Home $200

2 C Car $100

3 B Boat $250


by using the above range, i know how to use the vlookup to return, say,
A1,
it return for me "Home"...(i.e: =vlookup(lookupValue,A1:C3,2)

how can i use the lookup to return more than 1 data, example, base on the
above, I want it to display for me "Home" and "$200", and have them place
in
separated cell?

any help community ?

thanks community :)
