Lookup against pivot table with multiple instances
Hi AW, This defeats a lot of people so you are not alone. Just a pity that you have had to wait 6 weeks for your answer. The answer is concatenation. Join (concatenate) device type with rego number , using & (ampersand) and use that value for vlookup purposes For example Device1 Regnum1 becomes Device1Regnum1 Device1 Regnum2 becomes Device1Regnum2 Device1 Regnum3 becomes Device1Regnum3 Thus the new data table will look like this Device1Regnum1 Device1 Regnum1 Count33 Device1Regnum2 Device1 Regnum2 Count5 Device1Regnum3 Device1 Regnum3 Count87 The formula =Vlookup("Device1Regnum1",DeviceTable,4,FALSE) will produce the answer "Count33" Regards Mick Barry I was so so ugly as a kid, that whenever I played in the sandpit, the cat used to try and cover me up. -- mickbarry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mickbarry's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31028 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=493705 |
