![enter image description here][1]Afternoon Guys,
I saw a couple threads that were similar to what im looking to do.. but from what Ive tried so far I cant get this working.
Im trying to make a formula that takes a cell (Green on the left), searches for it in a column (green column on the right) and then if found returns the adjacent value (in blue)
Can anyone get me started on this?
Ok, apparently I cant post images yet....
See VLookup
.
You can use the VLOOKUP function to search the first column of a range of cells, and then return a value from any cell on the same row of the range. For example, suppose that you have a list of employees contained in the range A2:C10. The employees' ID numbers are stored in the first column of the range...If you know the employee's ID number, you can use the VLOOKUP function to return either the department or the name of that employee.
The format for VLOOKUP
is (lookup value, search array, index number, match type)
where:
Keeping in mind that VLOOKUP will return on the first match it finds from the top of the list, regardless of how many matches there are.
