VLOOKUP using MATCH

Hi,

I'm trying to use MATCH in a VLOOKUP where I'm looking from one sheet to another and need to drag the formula across and also down the list. So for example:

I have 6 columns of data that I need to look up to in "sheet 6" to populate in "sheet 1", each matching the heading of the sheet I want to do the VLOOKUP in (cells E2:J2). There is data underneath all of the headers in "sheet 6" that I need to pull into "sheet 1".

I need to lookup against a store number which are listed in column C of both reports

I am getting some data through in sheet 1 but it looks like it's just pulling the store number from column C in sheet 6, not the data underneath the headed column.

RE: VLOOKUP using MATCH

Hi Laura

Thank you for using our forum

I think this may be a problem related to using the correct absolute/mixed referencing

Could you perhaps send the files to info@stl-training.co.uk so we can get a better look at how you're using the information?

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
