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:

Quickly hide and unhide rows and columns

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+9 to hide selected rows and Ctrl+0 to hide selected columns. The good thing about this shortcut is that you do not need to select entire rows or columns. For example, select B3:D3 then press Ctrl+0 to hide columns B to D.

Ctrl+Shift+9 unhides rows and Ctrl+Shift+0 unhides columns.
