Row # of successful vlookup
Hi - Is there any way to know what the row # of a successful vlookup is?
Ex. From the following 2 column, 3 row lookup range: col 1 col 2 row 1 John A row 2 Tom B row 3 Jim C Vlookup(lookup range,"Tom",2,False) returns 'B'. Is there any way to know that B is on row 2 of the lookup range? -- TIA Chuck M. |

Row # of successful vlookup
MATCH function returns the position of lookup_value in lookup_array.
If your example started in A1, this formula would return the row number of "B" which is 2: =MATCH(VLOOKUP("Tom",A1:B3,2,FALSE),B1:B3,0) HTH, JP On Aug 19, 4:10*pm, Chuck M wrote: Hi - Is there any way to know what the row # of a successful vlookup is? * Ex.
