lookups
I am trying to set up a way to confirm commission payment on a particular
account. I have a spreadsheet with orders that we have placed with the main company & then when the statement comes back to us from the main company that lists what accounts the company has paid commission on I need to have a way to compare a spreadsheet that contains commission paid on order numbers to my spreadsheet that contains order numbers placed. I am thinking a vlookup is the way to go but I am not sure. Thank you for any help. (I am definately a newbie but I work for a very small company & am having to wear many different hats right now & we are growing & I need to find a way to work smarter rather than harder!) |

lookups
One of the stipulations of using the Vlookup() function, is that the column
containing the lookup value is to the *left* of the column containing any data that you want returned from the corresponding row. If this is not the case, then a combination of the Index() and Match() functions can perform the same task. Here's a link to Debra Dalgleish's web page concerning Vlookup: http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html Post back with the configurations of *both* your WBs if you need more help. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "OBJ" wrote in message ...
