Another VLOOKUP help - thanks

[mlance617]

Just need a vlookup formula to look for two words and return next column value. Needs to look for "Purchase Parts:" and "Purchased Parts:"

Currently this is what I have:

=VLOOKUP("Purchased Parts:",'edit 1804'!C:D,2,FALSE)

 

[etaf]

will that return 2 values one for each entry

=filter('edit 1804'!D:D, ( 'edit 1804'!C:C="Purchase Parts:")+( 'edit 1804'!C:C="Purchased Parts:"))
Will return all values found

or you could use a wild card * - but vlookup only returns first value found

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed
