vlook up
I want to sort my spreadsheet using the venod me. however not all lines have
vendor name. Rather, the vendor name is within the text in column a. Usually in the middle. Is there a way to do a vlookup and say the vendor name of all in column a that contains the word 'elite' is "Elite Services? If I do a vlook up, what should be the formula. If it's not possible in vlook up, is there anyway i can do this. thanks, del |

vlook up
The Vendor's names can probably be extracted out of your column A using the
TEXT functions of LEFT, RIGHT, MID, etc.....but the exact method depends heavily on what your data looks like. Is there any similarity of the data in column A? Post a few typical cell values and it will give us a better idea......(use phoney names if you wish, but keep the structure the same) Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "arcticale" wrote in message ...
