If formula help
Hello all,
here's what I'm trying to do: If part# in Column E is in column A, then pull the data from column B into column F, if no match, then leave blank or put no match. Here's what I tried doing: If (E:E=A:A, B:B:,"no match") but since column E and A do not have same amount of rows, the formula doesn't work. Would appreciate help with formula. Thank you, J |

Thank you, J Hi, Probably more a question for functions than the programming forum but you could use this formula, a bit more complicated than your original... =If(Iserror(match(E1,A:A,0)),"no match",Index(B:B,Match(E1,A:A,0),1)) So this assumes your putting your formula into F1, to look at cell E1, firstly it will see if E1 exists in column A if doesn't then it returns "no match", if it does it uses the index function to return the same row of column B that has the match in column A. Hopefully this makes sense, James |
