Hello,
I have data that has the same NAME repeating on two separate rows of the same column; the NUMBER column is different. Here is an example of what this data, located in Tab C of my spreadsheet, might look like: COL A: NAME COL B: NUMBER D0_DIMM_CLK0_A_H 4.1506626 D0_DIMM_CLK0_A_H 4.714883 D0_DIMM_CLK0_A_L 4.1341208 D0_DIMM_CLK0_A_L 4.7194365 As you can see, the data in COL A repeats, but the data in COL B is different. In a separate Tab, call it Tab A, of my spreadsheet, I have set up a formula that needs to use the 1st instance of this data; to do this search, I use the following formula: =VLOOKUP(A1,TabC!A:B,2,FALSE) where A1 has the value "D0_DIMM_CLK0_A_L" in it. So this works perfectly fine. The value returned is 4.1506626. In Tab B of the spreadsheet, I have another set of data that need to use the *second* value of the instance of "D0_DIMM_CLK0_A_L"; in other words, I need to use the 4.714883 value. However, if I try using the same VLOOKUP equation I used above, I'll still get the 4.1506626 value. What can I do to specify I want to skip the first instance of the data, and find and use the data from the second instance of this data? I'm not sure how the INDEX or MATCH functions could help here. Certainly, I could split up the two instances of the data to occur on two separate columns, but the problem with that approach is that I have a lot of data that is constantly changing and it would be extremely difficult to go split it all up each time the data is updated. Any help with this task will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! rei. |
