Vlookup question
Use HLOOKUP. It works the same as VLOOKUP only horizontaly.
=HLOOKUP(A9,A1:E2,2,0) In VLOOKUP you define the column_index_number but in HLOOKUP you define the row_index_number. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "acss" wrote in message ...

I may have misunderstood what you're trying to do.
Can you provide more specific details? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "acss" wrote in message ...

Vlookup question
My goal is to have two lists, one for an description and another for an
account. I thought to have a drop down list in A2 for a DESCRIPTION and when a certain description is selected then a corresponding account would appear in E2. Is this not what vlookup is for?

Vlookup question
Yes, but you asked how to go from a vertical lookup to a horizontal lookup.
A1 = lookup value = X Vertical lookup table in the range D1:E5 V...Bob W...Sue X...Sam Y...Tia Z...Tom =VLOOKUP(A1,D1:E5,2,0) returns Sam Horizontal lookup table in the range D1:H2 ...V......W......X.......Y......Z Bob...Sue...Sam....Tia...Tom =HLOOKUP(A1,D1:H2,2,0) returns Sam The only difference between H/VLOOKUP is in VLOOKUP you tell it what *column* to look in for the result and with HLOOKUP you tell it what *row* to look in for the result. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "acss" wrote in message ...

Vlookup question
At first i received a circular reference but now as i type x into a1 then i
get sam. In regards to expanding on the horizotal list , such as additional data would you reccommend placing the list on another sheet out of end user view and link the cells? "T.

That just boils down to user preference.
You could put the table on one sheet (you can even hide that sheet) and use the formula on another sheet: =HLOOKUP(A1,Sheet10!D1:H2,2,0) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "acss" wrote in message ...
