simple vlookup
Hi,
On the same spreadsheet, I have two segments of data: the first segment (A1:H19) uses the data from the second segment (B22:H90) for calculations. B2 will select a value from the drop down list it contains (based on B22:B90). When B2 is selected, I want the value in C2 to change, according to the corresponding value in C22:C90. I cannot for the life of me get it right with vlookup. Can anybody please help. Much obliged |

simple vlookup
It should be something like:
=VLOOKUP(B2,B$22:C$90,2,0) B2 already exists in B22:B90 through your validation, and you want to bring back data from the second column of your table (i.e. column C) where there is an exact match (set by the 0 at the end of the formula). Hope this helps.
