Lookup of identical values?
Hi, I have an worksheet with data like: 123, 1 124, 1 124, 2 125, 1 125, 2 In another worksheet, the alarm codes above are translated: 123 = "Alarm text 1" 124 = "Alarm text 2" 125 = "Alarm text 3" And in the third worksheet, the action is translated: 1 = raise 2 = cease What I would like is the possiblity to convert the three worksheets into: Alarmtext, raise?, cease? "Alarm text 1", yes, no "Alarm text 2", yes, yes "Alarm text 3", yes, yes Using only vlookup, I only get the first value in the first table, i.e. I need a way to find the second (or third) value in column two with the same id as in column one. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am sorry, I was not clear enought... 123 is in one column A and 1 or 2 is in column B. Your solution, if I understand it, works fine if I was looking for "123,1" in a single cell. Is there away to solve the problem with the data in different columns?

Hi
I can't see how to do it in one pass, but if you used helper columns. In C1 =VLOOKUP(A1,table_text,2,0) in D1 =CHOOSE(B1,"raise","cease") in E2 =IF(C2=C3,"",C2&","&D1&","&D2) Copy the formulae down as far as required -- Regards Roger Govier "TobbeGardner" wrote in message news:TobbeGardner.2adasp_1151926808.0582@excelforu m-nospam.com...
