HI all,

I have just joined as i have spent the last hour unsuccessfully searching the net trying to sort out an excel question i have, what i'm trying to do seems pretty simple but i cant figure out how to do it... I'm a basic excel user, using it mainly to create pricelists.

So here is the situation, we are the distributor for a few manufacturers, we usually simply import their pricelists which contain a retail price, and we have a cell that applies a discount which up to now has been a static percentage. A new manufacturer we represent has just sent us their price list, and in it they have included a column that includes 1 of 6 alphabetical characters, these characters define what discount is applied...

So for example A is 20%, F is 25% and to throw a spanner in the works they also have a 3 letter character lets say DET is 27%

As the pricelist is 11 pages long and very complex, we ideally want to import it layed out the same way as they send it to us, so column A is Article #, column B is product name, column C is price and column D is rebate group which contains one of the 6 possible characters.

What i'd like to do is have the first worksheet contain a list of the 6 characters and their discount amount which can then be applied in the rest of the workgroup..

Thank you for reading this far, i look forward to any help you can provide.

Cheers

Steve
 
The ZERO in MATCH should set for exact only

a little concerned about B$3:B$6 as that indicates to me only three rows are referenced

you might wrap with IFERROR(... formula ... ,"")

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
