Vlookup question
=MATCH(B3,'ACTIVE COMM CUSTOMERS'!$A:$A,0) this may seem really basic, but i did the same thing and it worked great In an active worksheet, I ran a column next to the data I was comparing (B3) in this case. Then in MATCH, used the array from a different worksheet, and the column A. After dragging the formula down the entire B column (30000 rows), I sorted. Two results. If there was a MATCH, it gave me the LOCATION of the matching field, and if there was no match, I knew I was missing data from the other worksheet. Hope this helps.. it's really easy and you can do it on the fly without using VLOOKUP "Daniel" wrote: Hi. i have a workbook with multiple worksheets and some of them contain matching data. say, i have worksheet A where i have numbers in column 1, and i have worksheet B where i have numbers in column 1 (some of them matching the ones in worksheet A), and have Comments in column 2. i want to pull up the comments in worksheet A where column 1 has matching data to worksheet B column 1. i tried a simple Vlookup but i always get N/A. hope this makes sense. any suggestions? |
