I want vlookup or similar formula in column "F" which should lookup
value of column "E" in columns "A , B & C" and bring value from column
"A". I know that normaly vlookup formula always bring value from the
next column but I want vlookup formula which should bring value from
back or privous column from the match value column
I want something "=VLOOKUP(E2,A2:C13,-2,0)" . If you notice in my
formula I put "-2" instead of "2". I know it not work like this but I
need some formula to work like this. I hope you understand what I am
trying to say. Please if anybody know this sort of formula. Thanks

Default HOW TO VLOOKUP BACKWORDS

Hi,

Use index(match for a left lookup

=INDEX(A2:A14,MATCH(E2,C2:C14))

You index A2 to A14 i.e. the column to return the value from then
you match a value E2 in C2:C14 and the value indexed in Column A is returned.
