VLOOKUP help please!
Hi! I have never used VLOOKUP before and i am a bit confused! Wondering if anyone might be able to offer some assistance! On sheet 1: this is the "Master list" Column A has salespersons names Column B-J have other info. On sheets 2-20: there will be a sheet for each one of the salespeople. So sheet 2 will be for "Mike". Each time it sees "Mike" in column A on sheet 1 i would like it to transfer the info in that entire row to Mike's personal sheet (sheet2) I wrote in yesterday asking for help & a gentleman was kind enough to give me this formula: =vlookup($a2,sheet1!$a$1:$j$1000,column(),false) ...and then he said to copy across... but i must be doing something wrong because it is not working. I have tried to study up on VLOOKUP through "help" but i cannot figure it out! I've been monkeying around with different "versions" of that formula & this is what i have done (which still doesn't work correctly - i get the info to transfer over, but when i copy down it gives me the same info over & over...like i said: I DON'T GET IT!!) Please help!! My formula: =VLOOKUP("mike",Sheet1!$A$1:$J$1000,2,FALSE) -- JENNYC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JENNYC's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=19579 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=516261 |
VLOOKUP help please!
VLOOKUP("mike",Sheet1!$A$1:$J$1000,2,FALSE) insert a column, B, number it 1-??, count the space over to the column you want it to pick up the info. if cell B13 has the number 3 in it, it will pick up that information in col. 3, so change the 2 in the formula to B?. VLOOKUP("mike",Sheet1!$A$1:$J$1000,B3,FALSE) copy and paste accross the page -- CBrausa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CBrausa's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24677 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=516261 |
VLOOKUP help please!
You are close, just change the column number from 2 to the appropriate column i.e. Vlookup("mike",Sheet1!$a$1:$j$1000,3,false) will pull from column c Vlookup("mike",Sheet1!$a$1:$j$1000,4,false) will pull from column d Vlookup("mike",Sheet1!$a$1:$j$1000,5,false) will pull from column e Vlookup("mike",Sheet1!$a$1:$j$1000,6,false) will pull from column f Vlookup("mike",Sheet1!$a$1:$j$1000,7,false) will pull from column g etc... etc...
