VLOOKUP but return a different row
Hi, I am trying to match a part number with a separate .csv file to update inventory. My dilemma is I am using VLookup to accomplish this but there has been some changes to the .csv file format and now the inventory on hand is on a separate row with the part number. Now if my understanding is correct, since the vlookup function can only return values from the same row it will not work with what I need... Any help is greatly appreciated!

VLOOKUP but return a different row
one way would be to seperate the cell using
Data=text to columns select comma , if the files join together all the time when they are updated, you could always record a macro that would do this routine then you would assign it to a button! |

VLOOKUP but return a different row
Hi,
I'd Use MATCH (similar parameters to vlookup) to return the row & either INDIRECT or INDEX to return the values of the cell(s) in the row below by incrementing the result of the MATCH by 1.

I would be more inclined to go with index over indirect for purely
performance reasons. Indirect is volatile and will slow thing down... Here is a good reference... http://www.decisionmodels.com/optspeede.htm -- HTH...
