Vlookup and text
 

Tom,

Thanks I have finally got it working, it seems that some
of the references I was testing had spaces after them and
some were formated incorrectly.

Now that I've got it working, is there any way I can input
just the last 4 digits of the reference into textbox1
rather than the whole reference.


Thanks

Vlookup and text
 

since your lookup items are stored as Text, then you can do something like:

=VLOOKUP("*234A",A1:A5,1,0)

or in code:

Dim res as Variant
res = application.Vlookup("*" & trim(Textbox1.Text), _
Range("A1").CurrentRegion,2,0)
if not iserror(res) then
Textbox2.Text = res
else
Textbox2.Text = "Not found"
End if

This assumes the last four characters for a unique choice.

Vlookup and text
 

Tom, the code works great but is there anyway I can get it
to ignore some blank rows i've gone on the sheet (it seems
to stop looking when it gets to a blank row)

And also what changes to the code would I need to make to
vloopup from coloum D instead of A. I've tried

res = application.Vlookup("*" & trim(Textbox1.Text), _
Range("D1").CurrentRegion,2,0)

But this is obviously wrong because it doesnt work.

Thanks

Vlookup and text
 

Thanks Again Tom,

one last question if I may...

Some of the textboxes will need some vba code to look to the left of the D
column. From what I've been reading I need to use the match command. Do you
know any code I could use to accuplish this?

Thanks

Adam
