Vlookup

What if there are 2 possible return values i.e 2 Jone's within the vlookup criteria

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: vlookup

Hi
If the item you are looking up is not unique then VLookup would not be suitable... For example, if your list contains names of clients that appear multiple times in the list such as Smith or Jones, then using a Lookup function to look up Smith, will look down the list and stop and return info for the first Smith it arrives at!

Hope that helps

Mark

Excel tip:

Change the Value of a Constant

When using a named constant in a worksheet, you may wish to change the value of that constant.

From the 'Insert' menu, select 'Name', then select 'Define'.

In the 'Define Name' dialog box, select the constant that you want to change.
Change the value in the 'Refers To' box.
Click OK.

Wherever that named constant has been used it will now use its new value.
