Excel help
I have a report I need to make which has turned out to be quite complicated. i need to use some form of lookup function to find info from one worksheet and place it in another, but the names I need to reference are slightly different on both sheets as they have come from different sources and have different abbreviations (hope this makes sense so far!). When i use an exact lookup it returns N/A, and when i use a 'best result' lookup it returns the closest, but usually wrong answer. Is there a way of looking up the first few letters in a string of text? Any ideas appreciated! -- chazpot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chazpot's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26353 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=396178 |
