Vlookups

Hi, can you please tell me how i would bring back a value;s currency as well as the actual value, when doing a vlookup

Thank You

RE: vlookups

Hi Esther

Thank you for your question. Vlookup brings back the value, but as you have found doesn't bring the number format with it. One option may be to record the currency symbol in a second column, alongside the currency rate then use a second VLOOKUP to return the symbol alongside the value.

Whilst this does not bring the number format along with the result could this help?

Let me know how you get on or if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Excel tip:

New Normal Worksheet

Do you want all your worksheets to confirm to a certain look? Then change the Defaults!!!
1. Press Shift+F11 to create a new worksheet
2. Press Ctrl+A to select (higlight) all cells, Press Ctrl+1, make any formatting changes then click OK.
3. Press F12 (Function 12 key) click in the Save As Type, drop down, then select Template (*.xlt)
4. Click in the Save in drop-down, then find the folder; c:_program files_microsoft office_office_start. (For the underscores shown use backslash)
Name your templete sheet.xlt, then press Enter.
Sheet.xlt is used when you insert a new worksheet (Shift+F11)
