Formula ?
I got 3 columns in excel. First two is ID & Name, third column is a subset of
the 2nd Column. Now, I want the corresponding ID's for my 3rd column (which should be looked up in first 2 columns) in my 4th column. ID,Name,Subset-name,Subset-ID? -- Failing to plan is planning to fail |

Assuming your data are in columns A to C from row 2 to row 100. In cell D2, try the following formula: =INDEX(A$2:A$100,MATCH(C2,B$2:B$100,0) Change the 100's to fit the size of your data in columns A (and B). Copy the formula down column D as far as you have data in column C. Hope this helps / Lars-Åke |

Try the INDEX() MATCH() combination instead of VLOOKUP() when the lookup
value is not the 1st column in the array... =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(C2,B:B,0)) -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "Joe" wrote: I got 3 columns in excel.
