Default How can I read & write in a Vlookup cell (same as editing an Acces

How can I read & write in a Vlookup cell (same as editing an MS Access record)?
First, I need to be able to update comments when I retrieve a Vlookup query.
Secondly, when I get a record, I want to be able to update it and save my
updates somewhere as history.

Regards,
Bakhsh_UOP

You really can't do what it is you are wanting. Formulas can only return
values, they can not update the values they are referencing. If I understand
you correctly you want the formula to update the constants in the list of
records you are looking up into. That would form a circular reference.
