I have a table where I have my list and it is in a deferent work sheet. When
a user selects something from the list I want to match it with my table and
return a number in a different cell. I have tried this formula.
=IF(D5="","",VLOOKUP(D5,Table!A:B,2,FALSE)) It will work for this cell now I
want to return a different number in column C I try to change B to C but it
only returns the number in B. What do I need to do?
Thanks for the help

Remember to increase the size of the lookup table to at least 3 columns (A:C):

=IF(D5="","",VLOOKUP(D5,Table!A:c,3,FALSE))

Try
=IF(D5="","",VLOOKUP(D5,Table!A:C,3,FALSE))

i.e. expand the table to inculde column C <Table!A:C and change the column
index from 2 (for B) to 3 (fro C).

Hope that is what you wanted.
