Default Need help vlookup?

Need to put a value in the blank column #N/A using the ss#. If the ss#
matches, then the value on Worksheet SAPCODE worksheet.


FINAL SHEET (name of workbook)
COLUMNS AW and AX (ROW1 has headers)
Row two begins data
Column AW is a list of Social Security Numbers
Column AX is a number code I need to get from another worksheet (currently
blank)
Following Columns and Previous columns contain misc data
ex.
COL AW AX AY
AZ
ROW
1 SS# NEEDED CODE INDICATOR EXTERNAL PI
2 111111111 #N/A DATA
DATA
3 222222222 #N/A DATA

4 333333333 #N/A DATA
DATA
5 444444444 #N/A DATA
DATA
6 555555555 #N/A DATA

Workbook name SAPCODES
COL
Rows A B C D
1 NAME OLD CODE SS# NEW SAP CODE

3 Smith, John 509009 222222222 20001930

Sounds like a data type mismatch. The ss# in one area may be formated as
text and the other is text. I would multiplying the AW column by 1 to ensure
that it was a number. Good luck.

Excel isnt just a program its a metaphor for life. Sometimes it''s easy and
boring.. sometimes it''s a little challenging and great.. then there are days
it will drive you absolutely INSANE.

Hello,

I suppose that SAPCODE is a worksheet name in SAPCODES workbook.
If I understand well, the formula in AX 2 should be : =VLOOKUP(AW2;
[SAPCODES]SAPCODE!C:D;2;FALSE)

Hope it helps
