how do i use vlookup to search for a value on another sheet?
You can't return the value from the second column of sheet2!A2:A84 if it only
contains 1 column. Try this: =VLOOKUP(B2,sheet2!A2:B84,2,0) Instead of this: =VLOOKUP(B2,sheet2!A2:A84,2,0) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "Danz" wrote: I have 2 sheets Sheet 1 contains value to search for sheet 2 contains column 1 with range of values sheet 2 column 2 contains corresponding values to return to sheet 1 I have the formula set up as this =VLOOKUP(B2,sheet2!A2:A84,2,0) It gives me a #REV! error |

You need to change sheet2!A2:A84 to sheet2!A2:B84 if you want the value from
column B, right now you tell excel to find the 2nd column in one column thus the REF error -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom http://nwexcelsolutions.com "Danz" wrote in message ...

That solved my problem. I didn't realise that I had to include all the
columns that I am trying to find data. For the longest time, I was trying to figure out how to reference sheet2 for column2. Thanks for the quick help.
