Preferably, you sample data mirrors your actual data so there'll be no need to edit the formula.

Please see the formula in column D.
Excelchat Expert

Basically, what we used is the combination of Index Match. However, we can also use the standard vlookup() formula for this.

Column E has the Vlookup formula.

Vlookup is the simpler approach, basically you are just telling it to look for the C3 value in column A then return the adjacent cell in B.

Excelchat Expert
10/09/2017 - 07:28
It means to return the 2nd adjacent column.
Excelchat Expert
10/09/2017 - 07:28
If you change that to 1, it'll return column A.
User

and 0?
Excelchat Expert
10/09/2017 - 07:29
0 means EXACT match.
User

You can actually change 0 to FALSE and it will still work.

Have you heard of the new subscription version of Excel? You can keep using your existing computer/laptop and get latest features automatically like online file sharing, and even a browser version of Excel that work with your files. I like it.
