Hello,

What I am looking for is vlookup type function that will look up the first 3 columns in data worksheet 1 and find it in the data lookup table and find the pay grade and if it is there return the Role Type to Data Sheet 1 Role Type.

Data Worksheet 1 (8k rows)
Division Name Cost Centre Name Pay Grd Role Type
ACUTE CARE Medicine Medical SC Return Role Type from Lookup Data
ACUTE CARE Medicine Medical DS1 Return Role Type from Lookup Data




Lookup Data (~400 rows)
Division Name Cost Centre Name Pay Grd1 Pay Grd2 Pay Grd3 Pay Grd4 Role Type
ACUTE CARE Medicine Medical SC2 SCM1 SDM1 SSC5 SC MED-REG
ACUTE CARE Medicine Medical DS2 DCM3 DDC1 DS1 DSC MED-INTERN

Any help appreciated I am sure it needs an index or an array. But I think it is beyond my comprehension.

Much thanks in advance

AE
