Lookup function-text
Hi there
I have a query about the lookup function. In one column there are registered the names of some people and in a second column there are registered the ages of these people. In another cell I have a part of the names list and I want to use the lookup function to find the age of these people. The example is illustrated below: mary 33 peter =LOOKUP(C1;$B$1:$B$8;$A$1:$A$8) peter 44 mary =LOOKUP(C2;$B$1:$B$8;$A$1:$A$8) john 65 ted =LOOKUP(C3;$B$1:$B$8;$A$1:$A$8) ted 43 mario 30 marco 20 george 16 michael 35 Although the formula seems to be ok I am getting a N/A. Can you please give me a good piece of advice? |
