Excel Advanced course
Xlookup
I have an excel file with two sheets, in first one there is a list of company names and related contract numbers, in second one there is another list of company names and related ID numbers so I have used Xlookup in first sheet and asked to copy ID number in matching company names (which are 3). However, only in two of them the ID is copied. How comes it does not come up in third match? It would be easier if I could attach the file but the formula I have created is the following:
=XLOOKUP(C96,Registered!C2:C9,Registered!A2:A9,"")
Thanks for your assistance

RE: Xlookup
Hi Patrizia,
Thank you for the forum question.
If a lookup and reference function cannot find the lookup value, then it is because it is not the same value.
Check if you have a blank space after one of the values.
To check if it is the same: If you, let us say, have the look up value in A1 and what is looking like the same value in the lookup array in C30. Select a blank cell and write =A1=C30. If the cell return false, it is not the same, and you need to find out why. Most of the time it is because of a space after the value.
I hope this makes sense.
Kind regards
