lookup data in another sheet
I am trying to create a formula within a worksheet which will look up
standardised test scores tabulated in another sheet. Standardised test scores are calculated depending upon chronological age in years and months and the test score of the child concerned. Currently my worksheet calculates the chronological age, but in two separate columns - I don't know if I need to reduce this to months and change the column heading on the second sheet. The test score is included on my first sheet but I also don't know how to get excel to look up using this variable. Can anyone help please? |

lookup data in another sheet
To use lookups in excel you need to share some key between both sets o data such as Name. Sheet 1. Sheet 2. Name Name, Test1 Score, Test2 Score Name Name, Test1 Score, Test2 Score Name ... ... =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$200,2,FALSE) This formula will do a lookup based on column a of sheet 1 if it find a match in column a of sheet 2 and will then return column B ( test 1 score) fro sheet 2. I know this is not exactly what you were asking for, but you lost me bit with your discussion of the age factor -- crispb ----------------------------------------------------------------------- crispbd's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=1088 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=31516 |

lookup data in another sheet
Thanks - I'll try and see what happens. Age is the column headings in one
table, with the test score in Column A so cells in the table give a standardised score for a child of a particular age who achieves a particular test score. It is because these vary from child to child that I don't know what to put into my formula. It would be easy if I could just go to a particular cell! Thanks again - help was appreciated!
