lookup with some specific characters
Hi All,
In one sheet I have names. for example - Michael Jackson and then some information in the rest of the columns. In the other sheet I have the IDs which is first initial and the last name without space. Example - MJACKSON. I need to use VLOOKUP but i need to find this ID in the names and then return the values from rest of the columns. Thanks for any help. |

Assuming your main data is on Sheet1 (change the reference as required)
starting in Row 2 (Row 1 is assumed to be a header) and assuming the worksheet where your IDs are has the ID Name in Column A starting in Row 2 also, then put this formula in Column B and copy across, then copy those all down. =INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$C12,ROW(Sheet1!$A$2)+MATCH(PRO PER(REPLACE($A2,2,0,"* ")),Sheet1!$A$2:$A12,0)-ROW(Sheet1!$A$2),COLUMN(Sheet1!B2)) Rick "Gaurav" wrote in message ...

Damn! The newsreader-breaks-at-spaces got me again. There is a single blank
space following that asterisk in the formula I posted. Rick "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote in message ...

Can't see why you're using these:
ROW(Sheet1!$A$2)+ -ROW(Sheet1!$A$2) PROPER(...) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote in message ...

Now that I look at it again, I can't see why either.<g
Gaurav... if you are still following this thread, replace the formula I originally posted with this one... =INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$C12,MATCH(REPLACE($A2,2,0,"* "), Sheet1!$A$2:$A12,0),COLUMN(Sheet1!B2)) Rick "T.
