Greetings MrExcel users and Thank you for taking a minute to help me with my challenge.
I have been doing these lookups by hand and I know there has to be a faster way
Here is an example of what I am working with:
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name
[/TD]
[TD]Date
[/TD]
[TD]TestType
[/TD]
[TD]ID
[/TD]

[/TD]

[/TD]
[TD]AAD32F55-C844-432A-BC20-5A178C263026
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
The issue I face: The test type along with the results score dictates what the Event Key will be.
I would like to be able to do a remote lookup (another worksheet or something) and have the formula pick out the right key.
Facts and other Data:
Sheet 1 contains all the information listed above without the key
Sheet 2 contains all the keys and a description similar to the test type but may not be a 100% text to text match
The test type list is several hundred and the list of one sheet 1 is several thousand.
What other information would be helpful?
