vlookup
I have revenue numbers for 2007 and 2008 in columns, I need to do a vlookup
(i think) that will classify into four columns demarking wih a check mark whether column 1 - the revenue increased, column 2 - revenue was new for 2008, column 3 - decreased and column 4 -if it decreased whetheth the business went away or sales were lower in 2008. I'm fustrated because I know what I want to do and know it's possible, but can't figure out what the formula is - help! -- Thanks, Jennifer |

vlookup
Tell me whether I've got this right. You have a sheet that looks something
like this: 1 2 1 2007 2008 2 $27 432 $27 097 3 $18 519 $33 400 4 - $10 932 5 $11 392 $10 446 6 $15 506 - 7 $58 585 $46 187 Now you want check marks out to the right showing how things changed: 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2007 2008 More New Less Gone 2 $27 432 $27 097 x 3 $18 519 $33 400 x 4 - $10 932 x x 5 $11 392 $10 446 x 6 $15 506 - x x 7 $58 585 $46 187 x Is that about right? I'm thinking not, because this doesn't call for VLOOKUPs; you just want an IF in each column. In column 3 you want =IF(RC2RC1,"x",""). In column 4, =IF(AND(RC1="",RC2<""),"x",""). And so on. So what do you really want? --- "jhnewyork" wrote: I have revenue numbers for 2007 and 2008 in columns, I need to do a vlookup (i think) that will classify into four columns demarking wih a check mark whether column 1 - the revenue increased, column 2 - revenue was new for 2008, column 3 - decreased and column 4 -if it decreased whetheth the business went away or sales were lower in 2008.

vlookup
That will work.
What if I wanted so show the variances in those columns, in your example in the more column $14,881 instead of an 'x'. I was thinking there was a vlookup that could calculate variance, put an x in the more and the actual variance in another set of adjacent 4 columns with the same titles. -- Thanks again, Jennifer "Bob Bridges" wrote: Tell me whether I've got this right.
