Please refer the formulas in F2 and G2.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 08:58
In F2, I have used vlookup formula with false condition as it is exact match.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 08:59
Whereas in G2 cell, i have used True condition as it is approximate match. The Years employed mentioned in the first table are not exactly matching with the second table. Hence, it is considered as approx. match.

Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:00
=vlookup(search text, search range, output column in the search range, true / false)
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:00
A2 is search text
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:01
$A$20:$J$27: Search range.
User
12/09/2018 - 09:01
how do I insert that ?
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:01
Search text must be searched in the first column of search range.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:02
And you need the result in column J. So, i have considered till column J.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:02
I have used "$" symbols to fix the range, while dragging the formula downwards.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:02
10 is the 10th column in the search range from column A.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:03
False: Exact match representation.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:03
For inserting range, you have to select the cells from A20 to J27 and then press F4.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:03
You will get the "$" automatically, or you can manaully insert them.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:04
If you observe formula for F3, you can see the same range, as the search range does not change for row 2 and row 3.
Excelchat Expert
12/09/2018 - 09:04
