Search and lookup functions
Hello, any help appreciated,
I have values in column A such as 123CRR, 123ABC, 456ZZZ, etc. I want to have a lookup table that contains CRR = this ABC = that ZZZ = something else I need a way to extract or identify the specific text string in column A and then use that value in a lookup table. I know how to use lookup tables when all I am looking up is the entire value in column A. I am looking for a way to extract just the text value and then use that in my lookup table. Thanks very much in advance, bmac |

Search and lookup functions
Instead of using:
=VLOOKUP(A1, ...etc you can use: =VLOOKUP(RIGHT(A1,3), ...etc Hope this helps.
