How to use VLOOKUP to find data on another sheet
 

Hi

Can anyone advise me on how to use VLOOKUP when the data to be 'looked up'
is on another worksheet in the same workbook. I also need to be able to look
up a series of Lookup values in a given VLOOKUP formula, i.e. I need to write
a single VLOOKUP formula which will search for DU52, DU92 & DU98 in column A
and return the values found in column D on the rows corresponding to the
values foundin column A.

I hope this makes sense, as this is my first question on these forums.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

How to use VLOOKUP to find data on another sheet
 

Hi Bob

I must still be missing something as it's returning #N/A

I've written the formula as follows: =VLOOKUP(DU52,VARIANT!A2:H44,4,FALSE)

When I click in the formula bar, 'DU52' is in blue.

Any ideas???

XL thinks DU52 refers to the cell DU52.

Thanks Dave, that makes sense. How do I convince Excel that DU52 is not a
cell reference, but merely a data value?

Put double quotes around it: "DU52" --that signifies that it is a text string.

I now have to write a formula to search for multiple lookup values and
return the sum of the values found in column D .......... ??????
