Look up
Posted by Joe Gornatti on July 02, 2001 9:31 PM
Hello, Can you help me with a lookup function?
Here is my problem. I created a spreadsheet that I can print my quickbooks check register into. Column D shows the account number that should be debited or credited. Column E shows the amount. All the other columns are the accounts. I need a function I can put in (let's say the Banking expense Column)That can look at column D on that row and if the account numbers match it will put the same amount, in column E, into the Banking exp. Column and row. Thank you. Joe

Joe,
It's a bit unclear to me how your data are organized.
Lets say that you have the following accounts and debit/credit amounts in D2:E6.
{"acc1",43;"acc2",-20;"acc3",12;"acc4",27;"acc5",56}
Apparently somewhere on the same worksheet, you have account numbers all in cells of their own.
Say you have in H1 account number "acc2" and you want the debet/credit amount associated with it if any in the range D2:E6 in the cell G1:
In G1 enter: =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(H1,$D$2:$D$6,0)),=VLOOKUP(H1,$D$2:$E$6,2,0),"")
This formula returns the amount associated with "acc2" if it exists, otherwise a blank.
