Need help with VLOOKUP
The lookup column should be the first column in your range. Also you
probably want to set the last parameter to false so it looks for the exact ingredient. Try: =VLOOKUP(E6,'Food DataBase'!E1:H2500,4,FALSE) -Simon "sfi" wrote: Have two worksheets 1st worksheet is called "Food Database" A B C D E F G H Blank Item# Brand Pack Ingredients Pricing Units oz/ea.

Need help with VLOOKUP
Thanks Simon for your previous help
I have a new problem I have added a ComboBox to lookup the ingredient in e6. Now I'm getting a new error #N/A. What do I replace e6 with to work. The ComboBox is named ComboBox1 =VLOOKUP(E6,'Food DataBase'!E1:H2500,4,FALSE) =VLOOKUP(ComboBox1,'Food DataBase'!E1:H2500,4,FALSE) Thanks "sfi" wrote in message ...

Sorry I didn't see your new post till today. Did you add the ComboBox from
the Control toolbar or Forms toolbar? Those two are different and I would need to know which. -Simon "sfi" wrote: Thanks Simon for your previous help I have a new problem I have added a ComboBox to lookup the ingredient in e6.

Actually I would recommend using the Combo Box from the Forms toolbar. After
you have placed the ComboBox in the Recipe Calculation sheet, just right click on it and go to Format Control. Under the Control tab, Input range would be 'Food DataBase'!E1:E2500. For Cell link, you can use E6 or whatever other blank cell you like. If you picked E6 for Cell link, the formula would be: =VLOOKUP(INDEX('Food DataBase'!E1:E2500,E6),'Food DataBase'!E1:H2500,4,FALSE) If you picked another cell for Cell link, just replace the E6 in the formula with whatever other cell you picked. -Simon "sfi" wrote: Control Tool Box and Forms Tool Box "SimonCC" wrote in message ...
