dates
I have an out of stock list (updated twice a week) showing the ETA when an
item is due back in stock. The out of stock list is in english and I need to create one for my french agents: instead of retyping the dates, I would like a function picking the dates from the english out of stock. column A: item number column B: item description column C: ETA I was thinking about VLOOKUP but I didn't manage to formulate it so as to report the date. Can anyone help ? thanks carla |

Why don't you apply a French date format for yor ETA cells?

Is the data sorted by item number?
If so then put the item number that you want to search for in D1 and in E1 =VLOOKUP(D1,A1:C3,3) - this will return ETA in E1 This assumes that the data is in range A1:C3 - change as required. If the data is not sorted by item number you will probably need INDEX MATCH - I will post something later edvwvw carla wrote: I have an out of stock list (updated twice a week) showing the ETA when an item is due back in stock.

Here is an example:
In A1 thru C10: 100nm cat 7/10/2008 200nm dog 7/9/2008 300nm mouse 7/5/2008 400nm lion 7/14/2008 500nm ant 7/3/2008 600nm flea 6/19/2008 700nm rat 7/13/2008 800nm bird 7/3/2008 900nm bee 7/9/2008 1000nm warthog 6/6/2008 in another cell: =VLOOKUP("500nm",A1:C10,3) This will report 7/3/2008 once the cell has been formatted as a date -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200790 "carla" wrote: I have an out of stock list (updated twice a week) showing the ETA when an item is due back in stock.

the data is sorted by item number. I tried what you said but it gives me
00/01/00, it doesn't pick the right date. I have: item no. (col B) - description (col C) - ETA (col D), then I have price, qty, total etc in the following columns, then again item no. (col. K) - description (col L) - ETA (col M). I put: =VLOOKUP(K35,'[tarif 05.10.07.xls]Sheet1'!$A:$Q,13) But it gives me 00/01/00. and if I drag it down it gives always 00/01/00. Can you help ? or can you suggest any other way (even not sorted by item number). thx ! "edvwvw via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Is the data sorted by item number?
