how to force a lookup
i have a cell which contain a concatenated reference/value for a brute force
lookup search.. something like this A10 = {1,3,4,10 to 500} increasing order for "+" the above look like a constant array but it is'nt since a single keystroke can modify the content of A1. The number of constant may vary from 1 to 1000 only. The total characters in A1 may reach 200. on A11 = {abc,bcd,cde,def, to abx...} The total characters in B1 may reach 1000. The number of constants on A10 and A11 always have the same dimension. is it possible by any function to force a lookup function read A1 as the lookup reference, and B1 as the lookup result. something like A12 = lookup("mySearchValue",""{A10}","{A11}") please advice me of the correct formula syntax for A12, i possible... best regards romelsb -- ***** birds of the same feather flock together.. |
