Lookup Value from Table erratic
Hi
I have 2 workbooks for entering Order and Bill Details. The Order Details is as follows OrderID Description Total 3456 rrrrr 2323424 2351 asdkljf 495890 5612 wobvwei 1265 9325 vavmewr 39224 The Bill Details workbook has the following fields OrderID Bill no Bill Amt Description 3456 SE/3494 45351 2351 ax-erewr 23213 5612 KS/inv/034 1265 9325 345 39224 2351 bx-erewr 123033 3456 SE/3600 1125000 3456 SE/3712 572375 Now I would like to add another column after Bill Amt, to get the matching Order Description (from Order Details) with the corresponding OrderID in the Bill Details.I tried the VLookup formula VLookup(A2,OrderDetails!A2:C5,2,TRUE) in the Description field of BillDetails, but the result is erratic. The problem was solved when I sorted the OrderDetails Table based on OrderID. Is there any way that I can get the correct Lookup value without sorting the OrderDetails Table. Thanks for the help |
