I am attempting to define a function that looks up a value on another
worksheet and returns that value to the active cell. Sample data is below and the spreadsheet is attached. Basically I want enter the meals on sheet 1 by looking up the value of sheet1.week-day on sheet 2 and then return the entree for that value. Currently I am using =VLOOKUP(G4,Menu,4,0). 'Menu' is the range on sheet 2. The problem is there are 20,0000 rows on sheet 1 and the workbook is getting large - actually there is another part of the workbook that is causing the size problem but fixing this will help me fix the other. My attempt at the user-defined function is listed below. It returns #Ref right now. Any guidance would be appreciated. R/ Brian Sheet 1 Sheet 2 Meal Week-Day Week-Day Week # Day Entrée Week 1-Monday Week 1-Monday Week 1 Monday Hamburgers Week 2-Friday Week 1-Tuesday Week 1 Tuesday Hot Dogs Week 2-Tuesday Week 1-Wednesday Week 1 Wednesday Pizza Week 1-Thursday Week 1-Thursday Week 1 Thursday Chicken Week 2-Thursday Week 1-Friday Week 1 Friday Stew Week 2-Monday Week 2-Monday Week 2 Monday Pork Chops Week 2-Wednesday Week 2-Tuesday Week 2 Tuesday Roast Week 2-Wednesday Week 2 Wednesday Hamburgers Week 2-Thursday Week 2 Thursday Hot Dogs Week 2-Friday Week 2 Friday Chicken Function last_done_date() 'returns last_done_date VLookup = Application.VLookup Offset = Application.Offset last_done = VLookup(Offset(ActiveCell, 0, 1, 1, 1), Menu, 4, 0) End Function |
