Vlookup
Is it possible to do a vlookup within a range? For example;
Column A Column B A1 000-140101 A1 General Government A2 190000-200301 A2 Public Protection A3 410000-541001 A3 Culture & Rec A4 990000-990001 A4 Public Ways So Lets say I want to look up 190500 I would expect the formula to return Public Protection. |

No, VLOOKUP does not provide that facility... If your subsrting confirms to a
pattern then you can extract that in a helper column and lookup on that column... If you can come up with a formula which returns the whole string when substring is passed to it then you can pass that as the lookup value... I mean in =VLOOKUP(A1,...) replace A1 by the formula which returns a value in the lookup col... "Gilbert" wrote: Is it possible to do a vlookup within a range?
