Formulas to speed up many manual "=()" commands
I am after a way of using formulas replace manual "=()" commands in the following situation... I have 2 adjacent columns of data on one sheet that include a weighing pan number and its corresponding mass. When entering the data of weighed items, I just record the initial weigh pan number in the data sheet. How would I insert the relevant weigh pan mass value for a given item (from the initial 2 columns mentioned) in a column adjacent to, or replacing the corresponding pan numbers in my new worksheet. I can do this manually by using the "=()" command but it takes forever with a big data set This is complicated by using a particular boat multiple times, so ranking both sets of data and subsequently copying columns will not work.

Can you set up a table w/pan numbers and their mass (let's say this table is
in A1:B4) Pan Mass 1 0.5 2 0.65 3 0.8 4 1 Then in a column next to your data, use =VLOOKUP(PanNumber, $A$1:$B$4, 2, FALSE) where PanNumber is the cell reference containing the pan number used. Copy the formula down as far as needed. "Cantab" wrote: I am after a way of using formulas replace manual "=()" commands in the following situation...
