Lookup formula to return relative data from an adjacent cell

[BADax]

Currently using Win XP and Excel 2003.

I have two lists of data that I wish to compare against each other (column A and column B) and where there is a match I want to return the data from an adjacant cell (column C), and then display this in relation to Column A. For example:

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 256pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=340 border=0 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 21pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1024" width=28><COL style="WIDTH: 68pt;

Where I currently have blank cells in Column D I'm happy for it to be blank, return a number, return a specified text (i.e. "New"), it's not overly important.

I can run a Vlookup formula to tell me who out of Column A appears in Column B but I can't then successfully extend the formula to return the text from Column C in Column D. I can get a result of sorts but it won't align Column C data with the Column A name.

I have a Lookup formula that comes close to what I need:
=LOOKUP(A2,$B$2:$B$6,$C$2:$C$8)

This does align the Column A name and the Column C data but also returns results that aren't true:

The fields highlighted in Red are not correct and simply seem to be repeating the previous field until the formula finds a matching result and corrects the returned data.

I've looked at a number of formula combinations including IF statements but I just can't get it to work for me. Any assistance would be gratefully received!

Try:
=if(isna(match(A2,$B$2:$B$6,0)),"",index($C$2:$C$6,match(A2,$B$2:$B$6,0)))
and copy down

Thank you very much for your assistance, you've saved me hours of further frustration and struggle! If you were in Melbourne I'd happily buy you a beer!

One thing I had noted with the formula is that my actual spreadsheet contains numerous other columns of data and the three I specified to work with did not all sit adjacent to each other. When I initially used the formula it did not work correctly and gave me a #REF error when the data did not align on the same row. Once I realigned the columns though so that the data was adjacent the formula worked perfectly.

Is there a particular reason for this or is it simply how Excel works? Is it possible to re-jig the formula to still work even when the columns are not adjacent? It's not that important, more just idle curiosity on my behalf so hopefully nobody spends a lot of time trying to work it out.

BADax,
You are Welcome.
I am not exactly sure if I understood your question properly.
If you are talking about my suggested formula, it should work irrespective of the data being adjacent or not. One thing I noticed in your original LOOKUP formula is you have both ranges of different size. Try to use ranges of same size.

For example, consider this formula:
=INDEX($C$2:$C$3,MATCH(D3,$A$2:$A$4,0))
Lets say I am trying to find a match of D3 in range A2:A4 and then return the corresponding value from C2:C4.
Notice that in formula I have range C2:C3. Therefore, if the match is in 3rd row of A2:A4 (i.e A4=D3), the match function will return 3 and then index function will return REF error because there is no 3rd row in C2:C3.

Does this help?

Hi BADax,

I'm with c_m, I'm not exactly sure what your question is but perhpas the below page may help with the index/match function.

If not, sorry to waste your time.
