I have two sheets.
Sheet 1 has two columns: 1. Code_Descr (example value: "12345_cookies") 2. Attribute_ID (empty) Sheet 2 has 4 columns: 1. Code (example value: 12345) 2. Descr (example value: "Nr-cookies") 3. Code_Descr (formula: =A2&"_"&B2) 4. Attribute_ID (example value: "BHU340098") The idea is to fill the column Attribute_ID in sheet 1 with the values from sheet 2. But there is a problem. As you can see the Descr-values in both sheets are slightly different. That is because they are from different sources. I want to use a VLOOKUP to put the Attribute_ID This is the formula placed on sheet1 in cell C2: =vlookup(B2;Sheet2!$C:$D;2;0) I don't get values now... because column Sheet2!C contains a formula. But I do not want to remove this formula. My users have to modify Sheet2!B2 from "Nr-cookies" to "cookies" and then the vlookup should place the correct Attribute_ID in Sheet1. How do I keep the formula in Sheet2 column C and still get a working VLOOKUP based on that column? |
