Fixing a formula to read a general format?
A few months ago I had asked a question and got this answer:
Question: I have a a set of values in A1 through A100. I need to look up each value and find a match in another set of values located in C1 through C200. If a match is found then I need the formula located in column B to return the value in the same row but the next column over (D). Answer: =IF(ISNUMBER(VLOOKUP(A1,$C$1:$D$200,2,0)), VLOOKUP(A1,$C$1:$D$200,2,0), "") Copy down through A100. The formula worked fine, however the reference value and the look up value are not any more numbers but a combination of letters and numbers (i.e. T-410TFG2-A) with a general format and the formula is not reading them. How can I fix the formula? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, ZUO |
