Can Vlookup check a cell to the left?
I have a dataset which has the "trigger" value in column "E". The problem I have is that I want it to return the value of column "D". This is not possible using Vlookup as Colum "E" is 1, "F" is 2 etc. I have tried referencing column "D" as -1, but this isnt allowed. Can anyone suggest how I can achieve this. Thanks in advance Koala -- koala ------------------------------------------------------------------------ koala's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=12953 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=386404 |
