Lookup against concatenated source value
Am using this formula in B2 to extract the 2nd and 3rd characters in a
string: =IF(A2="","",CONCATENATE(MID($A2,2,1),MID($A2,3,1) )) It correctly displays a "09" Would like to do a VLOOKUP against the result displayed as "09" (zero 9) and return another value. How should the table contain the desired matching value? If I place a 09 in the first column, it's displayed as a 9 and it will not be found. Changing to TEXT, and pasting as values doesn't work. If I place "value" before the formula in B2, it will display as a 9, and increasing the decimal will display as "9.0". The text string in A1 looks like 609250412-PL. So how would I configure the first column in the lookup table to return a value where the source value is the result of a concatenated formula? TIA for any ideas. Pete |
