Lookup Help
I have 2 sheets, the first is a list of 400 model numbers for a specific
customer. The second is a list of all 8000 model numbers in inventory with location id's. I want to search the list of all model numbers and only extract the models on the first sheet. The end result needs to be a list of the models in sheet1 with the location id's from sheet 2. The second issue I have is sheet 2 will have the same items multiple times because they have multiple locations. I hope this is making sense to someone. Thanks |

OK, so you want to lookup the location ID from sheet2 for each of the
model numbers on sheet1. Assuming sheet 2's 8000 rows data is in A1:B8000, and the model number you want to lookup is in cell D2 use the following formula, and copy for each model number: =VLOOKUP(D2,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$8000,2,false) As for your problem that each model number has multiple location IDs then you would need to decide which location ID you want to lookup; the lowest numbered? the first in the list?
