Hi,

I have some data with column of town names (40k rows with around 500 unique towns). Is it possible to group the data by a geographical area i.e Northern or Southern area?

Thanks for any help offered

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

Which field distinguishes the geographic area? What is the criteria for grouping? If you were to do this manually, what would it look like?

The geographical area can be distiguished by column 1 (UK Postcode) or column 2 (UK Town). Ideally I would like to be able to see the percentage of High, Medium or Low risk (column 9) by area (possibly user defined) such as Scotland, North England, Middle England and South England though I am guessing that this would need to be done with some kind of mapping link?

Thanks
