VLOOKUP with Wild Card?
 

Is it possible to do a VLOOKUP with a Wild Card? We have various systems that
display the names slightly different for our staff and would like to combine
it all in one sheet. Right now my lookup looks like this:

=VLOOKUP(A2, '[Premier Goals.xls]FTE'!$A$2:$F$100, 6, 0)

Thank you

Sure, you could do something like this:

=VLOOKUP(A2 & "*", '[Premier Goals.xls]FTE'!$A$2:$F$100, 6, 0)

If you had "abc" in cell A2, this would match "abc" and "abcdef".
