V Loop Up

I have two spreadsheets of differing info - but there is a correlating column across the two which could be customer accout number for example. I want to bring back into one of the spreadsheets an item of data which is only contaiend within the 2nd spreadsheet - such as profit%. How do I do this?

RE: V Loop Up

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your question.

Please find the formula below that we discussed yesterday:

=IF(B4="",VLOOKUP(A4,'C:\Users\Simon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\OLKE4F3\[Tel. No complete.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$6,2,FALSE),B4)

Si if B4 is blank, then lookup the value in A4 and search for it in the other spreadsheet and return the value in the 2nd column. If it isn't blank just use the value in B4.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

##### displaying in Excel

When you get a series of hash symbols (####) appearing in some of your cells in a spreadsheet, this can make you think that you've make some kind of mistake.

This is a common misconception - what this actually means is that the cell is not wide enough to fully display the content of the cell.

All you need to do to see what is actually in the cell is to widen the column that the cell is in.
