Vlookup和比赛

Question

I'm trying to cross data to fill a sheet but I'm having some doubts.

I have a number a value in a sheet, and I want to complete it with data from another sheet.

For example:

I want to complete Column C in sheet 1, with the age that appears in sheet 2 (no problem if it copy's the whole cell), but it's not in a specific column. I tried to use vlookup & match, and it's returning an error. a Vlookup the EAN column, and use match the specific string "Age:".

Can you help me? Am I using the right formula

Answer 1

Edit:

Found this source where it explains how to do It. In your case it would be:

{=INDEX(Sheet 2!E2:CT2,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(Sheet 2!E2:CT2),0))}

This is if your data starts on Row 2 and as you said the age columns are between E:CT

Note how to insert the array formula as is explained on the post of the source.

Answer 2

Step 1, find the row you want to work on: (Match on values in Column A)

=MATCH(Sheet1!$A2, Sheet2!$A:$A, 0)

Step 2, grab that entire row via OFFSET or INDEX :

=OFFSET(Sheet2!$1:$1, MATCH(Sheet1!$A2, Sheet2!$A:$A, 0) - 1, 0)

Step 3, find the Age cell in that Row using HLOOKUP and Wildcards ( "*" ):

=HLOOKUP("Age:*", OFFSET(Sheet2!$1:$1, MATCH(Sheet1!$A2, Sheet2!$A:$A, 0) - 1, 0), 1, FALSE)

(Optional) Step 4, convert to number:

=0 + TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(HLOOKUP("Age:*", OFFSET(Sheet2!$1:$1, MATCH(Sheet1!$A2, Sheet2!$A:$A, 0) - 1, 0), 1, FALSE), "Age:", ""))

Then just drag that down from C2 to however many rows you need. This will find the cell that starts with "Age:" in any column, A:XFD
