Question
I have a data input Sheet say sheet1. I also have a database in sheet2. By doing a vlookup I can pull information from sheet2 to sheet1 for selected criteria. Now my question is I want to edit the result onto a new sheet in sheet3. Will it be possible in excel to do this.
Answer
Hi Joby
How are you?
Please try the following example
1. On Sheet1, A1, type 100
2. On sheet2, type in C3:C6
50, 100, 150, 200
3. On sheet2, type in D3:d6
Ab, Abc, Aca, Ada
4. on sheet3 type in A1
=Vlookup(Sheet1!A1;Sheet2!C3:D6;2)
I hope this helps
Cheers
Adelaide
