I have the following data
Cell A Cell B book_ball_12k Exercise ham_pie_l89 Food How do I do a v-lookup on this value - Jungleboy, book_ball_12k from above and get Exercise. I want the look up to look at book_ball_12k from the value (Jungleboy, book_ball_12k) - probably use the comma to denote where to get value from and pick Exercise. All help totally appreciated.. Thanks |

Hi,
Lets suppose the string (Jungleboy, book_ball_12k) including the parenthesis is in F1, try this =VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(MID(F1,SEARCH(",",F1)+1,L EN(F1))),")",""),A1:B20,2,FALSE) Mike "Yossy" wrote: I have the following data Cell A Cell B book_ball_12k Exercise ham_pie_l89 Food How do I do a v-lookup on this value - Jungleboy, book_ball_12k from above and get Exercise.

Note that with that formula there can't be any empty cells in the first
column of your lookup table. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T. Valko" wrote in message ...
