vlookup returns column to the left
I thought this would be easy but still can't get it. How do you get a vlookup to return a value from a column to the left of the array? Thanks -- Brisbane Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brisbane Rob's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25096 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=474502 |

Hi!
How do you get a vlookup to return a value from a column to the left of the array? You don't! You could use some variation of Index: Column A contains the value you want returned. Column D contains the lookup value =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(Lookup_value,D:D,0)) Biff "Brisbane Rob" wrote in message news:Brisbane.Rob.1wlnie_1128801907.2445@excelforu m-nospam.com...
