Default Regarding updating 1000 values using vlookup from another worksheet


Hi,
i have a worksheet naming table_p_source with two columns, resource
query string value and page source.

Another worksheet naming, main_spread_sheet containing several columns,
but two columns are identical to table_p_source. One is the resouce
query string value and the other, page source.

Using the vlookup method, the resource query string value column is
supposed in main_spread_sheet is supposed to link up with
table_p_source of the resource query string value column for the datas
allocated in the page source column.

The problem i'm facing now is that, with vlookup, i am able to update
datas single rows at a time. With 1000 rows and datas to update, how is
it possible? for e.g. vlookup=(B6,Table_psource!$B$2:$C260,2)

This is the formula, which i dun understand why it could not update all
the rows in it, but instead, only gave one.

VLOOKUP can only return one value which your case is the page_source value
corresponding to the resource query string in B6.

Simply copy the formula down for your 1000 rows and they will updated.

=Vlookup(B6,Table_psource!$B$2:$C$260,2,false))

To allow for an error use:

=IFf(ISNA(Vlookup(B6,Table_psource!$B$2:$C$260,2,f alse)),"",Vlookup(B6,Table_psource!$B$2:$C$260,2,f alse))

This will leave a blank cell if there no match.
