look up query
I have two worksheets. They are both identical with an exception of on column
which is on my summary table. The tables are as follows: data table: job_no; patient; hospital; fault; req_date; rec_date; This table contains all the records from every job we have received. summary table: job_no; patient; hospital; fault; req_date; rec_date; ACTION; This table contains a sample of the data in the 'data table'. I add actions to each job on this table. I need to know how to create a lookup so it will take the ACTION from the 'summary table' and add it into a new column in the 'data table'. it should only add the action if there is an action and the jobs_no in both tables match as this field is unique. any help would be appreciated |

Hi Christopher,
Assuming the second worksheet is named Sheet2, enter the following into Cell H1 of the first worksheet (or H2 if you have a header row) and copy the formula down. If you have a header row, you need to change the A1's in the formula to A2's. =IF(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A:$H,8,FALSE)=0,"",VLOOKUP( A1,Sheet2!$A:$H,8,FALSE)) HTH -- Ken Hudson "Christopher Buxton" wrote: I have two worksheets.
