Lookups

I have one workbook with three worksheet within it, 2 with data and the third as a summary.

I would like to copy and paste lines from the two data sheets into the summary sheet that correlate. I would like to copy all the data from each corresponding line (which is 3 colums work of data) I believe that I have to combine the IF statement with ISERROR and VLOOKUP. I am trying to determine which lines are present in both of the two data worksheets

Can you please help me

many thanks

Becky

RE: Lookups

Hi Becky

I think you're nearly there. I would personally use something like

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B1,Sheet2!A:E,5,0),"",VLOOKUP(B1,Sheet2!A:E,5,0)))

this would return a blank if the figure you're looking for is not in the target table, otherwise display the resultant figure.

then from that, you can do a simple sort to make your sheet look nice and pretty :)

Hope this helps.
Any questions, feel free to email me - tealeaves18@hotmail.com

Excel tip:

Editing Formulas in Excel Cells

Although people like to edit a formula in the Formula bar, you can also edit a formula in the cell.

To do this select the cell and press "F2". This puts Excel into Edit mode, and you can move around in the cell and make any necessary changes.

Double-clicking the cell also puts Excel in Edit mode.
