Vlookup or choose or?
Two seperate workbooks.
One holds a list of items that are sent for repair and the date they are returned. (1 item may appear on the list more than once, but is currently filtered not to display) The items are listed by their Depot,Serial number,Date sent and Date returned and status (being out for repair, waiting to be sent).This status does not change when the item is returned we just update the Date returned column. In the other workbook I have a list of all the item's Serial numbers and their respective depot (1 serial number 1 depot No duplicates)! I would like to know with the use of Vlookupor whatever, from this other workbook if an item is out for repair, Waiting to be sent for repair or back on site. I can do a straight forward vlookup but I don't know how to check another column to see if it has a Date Returned! Thanks in advance Dean |

If you have done the VLOOKUP for the "sent out date"
then you could do the same for the return date. use the same formulae as for the -sent out date- but put it in another cell perhaps next to it. all you need to do is have the same VLOOKUP (maybe a larger array to incorporate the return dats in it) Change col_index_number.
