Need help with a dynamic lookup and logical formula
I'm trying to write a formula that would do the following between two sheets: In Sheet 1 Reference the text in a cell - I'll call it B4 Look at at cells "Sheet2!$R$59:$FZ$69" (yes, I need an absolute reference because I intend to drag the formula) to see if a match to "Sheet1!B4" is in that range Then, report the data that is found in the cell next it. (so if a match to "Sheet1!B4" is found in "Sheet2!R61" then report "Sheet2!R63 in the cell). It strikes me as pretty easy, but I cannot get it to work. I'm trying to make quick work of an enormous sheet, but I cannot figure out what type of dynamic formula to write.

I think this addresses your question, though there may be a more elegant
solution that I'm not aware of: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...orrespond ing "rwwkbw" wrote: I'm trying to write a formula that would do the following between two sheets: In Sheet 1 Reference the text in a cell - I'll call it B4 Look at at cells "Sheet2!$R$59:$FZ$69" (yes, I need an absolute reference because I intend to drag the formula) to see if a match to "Sheet1!B4" is in that range Then, report the data that is found in the cell next it.

Your problem statement is confusing to me, since R63 is not "next it"
from R61 in a way that I understand... If you want to look up B4 in R59:R69, and return the value from the corresponding cell in column S: =VLOOKUP(Sheet1!B4,Sheet2!$R$59:$S$59, 2, FALSE) In article , rwwkbw wrote: I'm trying to write a formula that would do the following between two sheets: In Sheet 1 Reference the text in a cell - I'll call it B4 Look at at cells "Sheet2!$R$59:$FZ$69" (yes, I need an absolute reference because I intend to drag the formula) to see if a match to "Sheet1!B4" is in that range Then, report the data that is found in the cell next it.
