Hi everyone.

I am not sure which commands to use, can someone please show me how to
accomplish this?

I have two different worksheets

Worksheet 1 Worksheet 2
Name Total Name Total
Abe 3 John
Bob 4 Jane
Charlie 5 Bob

I would like to compare the names in column A (worksheet 1) vs. the names in
colum A (worksheet 2), if they match, in this case Bob, return the value 4 in
worksheet 2. For John and Jane, since no matches are found, return the value
0.

Is this possible and what commands are needed?

Thank you,

Peter

The Vlookup will return the values needed, but will return an NA if not
found. The Vlookup can be wrapped in an IF(IsNa to get your 0 if not found:

=if(isna(vlookup()),0,vlookup())

Hi,

Use

=IF(ISERROR((VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$B$5,2,FALSE)) ),0,(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$B$5,2,FALSE)))


and copy it down.

Here A2 is the cell where 'John' is in Worksheet 2.

Regards

Govind.
