Lookup values in one column to return another
I know this is easy, but I'm having a complete brain-fart on how to do
it. I've got a column of values on one sheet, and I want to match each individual value in that column with the same value on another sheet, then return the value in that same row. Simplified example: Column A Column B Column C Column D a a 1 1 a b 2 1 d c 3 4 e d 4 5 c e 5 3 b f 6 2 c g 7 3 c h 8 3 So I've got values in Column A which I'm trying to match to a list of values in Column B. When it matches, I want it to look up the corresponding value (same row) in Column C, returning that value in Column D (the above table is filled out as to how it should look when done). I think I can do this with some combination of LOOKUP, MATCH, and INDEX, but I can't seem to get the syntax correct. TIA!! |

Simply VLOOKUP.
=VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$C$200,2,False) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) wrote in message oups.com...

Bob-
Thanks for the help. One thing I forgot to mention - all of the columns are on different sheets, with none next to each other. I'm trying to play around with what you sent given that, but haven't gotten it working yet. Thanks again. |

I think that will require INDEX/MATCH then
=INDEX(Sheet3!C1:C200,MATCH(Sheet1!A1,Sheet2!B1:B2 00,0) where you can modify the sheets to suit -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) wrote in message ups.com...
