vlookup
If you have the department name and want to return the op number, then maybe:
=vlookup(a5,aa1:ac3,2,false) Debra Dalgleish has lots of notes: http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html (for =vlookup()) and http://contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html#Trouble kevcar40 wrote: Hi I have a table of data contaning department name op number production AA1 AA2 AA3 press op 10 40 wash op 10 90 A5 = press b5 = op 10 i want to return the value of the identified op in b5 from the identified department in a5 i am trying to use vlookup to achieve this any suggestion on the best way forward thanks kevin -- Dave Peterson |

vlookup
=index($ac$1:$ac$3,match(1,(a5=$aa$1:$aa$3)*(b5=$a b$1:$ab$3),0))
This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type them yourself.) Adjust the range to match--but you can only use the whole column in xl2007. kevcar40 wrote: thanks for reply dave i want to check both department and op then return the value On 1 Oct, 13:48, Dave Peterson wrote: If you have the department name and want to return the op number, then maybe: =vlookup(a5,aa1:ac3,2,false) Debra Dalgleish has lots of notes:http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html (for =vlookup()) andhttp://contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html#Trouble kevcar40 wrote: Hi I have a table of data contaning department name op number production AA1 AA2 AA3 press op 10 40 wash op 10 90 A5 = press b5 = op 10 i want to return the value of the identified op in b5 from the identified department in a5 i am trying to use vlookup to achieve this any suggestion on the best way forward thanks kevin -- Dave Peterson- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - -- Dave Peterson |
