RE: VLOOKUP

Hello Barry,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Excel Advanced course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding using Vlookups.

I'm not sure what you are referring to so it would be great if you could give some detail as to what you are trying to achieve when using a Vlookup. Perhaps you can send a sample worksheet to me with a note as to what is happening when you create a Vlookup versus what you would like to happen. My email adress is:

Get back as soon as you can.

Have a great day.

RE: VLOOKUP

Hello Barry,

I had a look at your formula and agree that it does produce the incorrect result. I presume you are looking for the result of 15 to appear.

I tried another method by using the LOOKUP function and found this retrieves the value of 15. I would like you to try this out on your live data and let me know if this works.

I didn't use the concatenated column, however, you need to do so if there are any issues using the formula as is.

I have attached the file you sent me.

Have fun.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
