V-Lookup

Hi,

Is there a way to do a V-LOOKUP with a combination of prefix letters with numbers that don't throw up error or #NA's?

Many thanks,

Hai-anh

RE: V-Lookup

Hi Hai-anh,

Thank you for the forum question.

Yes.


You can concatenate character or use text functions depending on your data.

I have attached a workbook with some examples.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Status Bar Functions

When using the SUM, MIN, MAX, AVERAGE and COUNT functions, the result of such calculations are displayed in the worksheet.

However, if a range of cells, containing numbers, is highlighted, and then a right-mouse click is performed at the bottom right side of the status bar, then the result of those functions will be displayed.
