如何检查其他工作表中是否存在值，然后从行中的另一个单元格输出值

Question

I am completely stumped here and don't know the proper spreadsheet terminology.

So I have one sheet which has the following three columns

• Comment ID
• Comment Post ID
• Comment

Now the post ID refers to the ID of the post the comment was created on.

I have a second sheet (in the same workbook) that has the following columns:

• Post ID
• Post Title

How can I run a formula that makes Excel replace the values in 'Comment Post ID' with the correlating titles?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Say the Comment items are on Sheet 1 columns A:C and the Post items are on Sheet 2 columns A:B , in order, with headers.

In Sheet 1 column D Row 2 use

=VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)

You can drag that down as far as your data goes and it will lookup the Comment Post ID from Sheet 1 column B to find the matching title in Sheet 2 Column B .

If you really want to replace your Comment Post ID column with the titles then just copy and paste the values of your new column D
