Formula issue
Hi everyone
I have two worksheets on the one workbook. On sheet one I have various columns a = names w = completed percentages On sheet two I again have various columns a= names but not specifically the same names as on sheet two I want to check if the names on both column A's match and if they do I want to copy the corresponding percentage from Sheet one into a new column in sheet two. ie if sheet one column a is jon brown and his % in column w is 100% and jon brown is in column a on the other sheet I want enter the 100% into a new column on sheet two Phew hope I havent lost you yet! I read through some other posts and have managed to get the following: (23 being w column from sheet one) =VLOOKUP(A2,'Outcome text'!$A$2:$A$2000,23,0) But its not working - what am i doing wrong please?? Thanks as always |

I think you have to have the column that you're bringing back in the array so
=VLOOKUP(A2,'Outcome text'!$A$2:$W$2000,23,0) "Lise" wrote: Hi everyone I have two worksheets on the one workbook.

Try
=VLOOKUP(A2,'Outcome text'!$A$2:$W$2000,23,0) A2 is lookup value in Sheet2 eg: jon brown 'Outcome text'!$A$2:$W$2000 is the array from sheet1 23 is the column number W If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Lise" wrote: Hi everyone I have two worksheets on the one workbook.
