My apologies.
Your first offset is 2, not 3, hence the starting formula should be =VLOOKUP($C5,Sheet1!$B$1:$E$16,COLUMN(B1),0) -- Regards Roger Govier "Roger Govier" <roger@technology4unospamdotcodotuk wrote in message ... Hi From your description the data to be looked up, starts in column B and ends in column E of Sheet1. I assume that you are always wanting to look up the value from Column C of the Result Sheet sheet. If that is the case, then in your first cell enter =VLOOKUP($C5,Sheet1!$B$1:$E$16,COLUMN(C1),0) Copy across (and down) as required. The third Argument, the offset from the first column in the dataset being looked up, Column(C1) will return 3, as column C is column 3. As you drag across, the column reference will step up to D, E etc, hence the offset will step up to 3, 4 etc. and pick up your required data. Note the Absolute $C5. This fixes column C of results sheet as the item being looked up, otherwise it would alter to D5, E5 as you copy across, and would fail. -- Regards Roger Govier "KP" wrote in message ... I'm using the VLOOKUP function to look up value in another sheet and return the corresponding value, My problem is It works for the first column but the how do I get the next 4 columns Sheet 1 has the date that needs to be looked up and once the Employee name is found then return the corresponding values in Column D,E,F Sheet 1 C D E F Employees Volume Hours VPH ABC 100 10 3.3 Result Sheet Formula being used =VLOOKUP(C5,Sheet1!B$1:C$16,2,FALSE) to Match the name and get the value in column D in Sheet 1 =VLOOKUP(D5,Sheet1!C$1:D$16,2,FALSE) to get the value of Column E in Sheet 1 for the above match. Hope I explained this correctly. -- Thanks KP |
