Hi,

I have the following problem:
I would like to construct a formula which will create the result in the column “Result from the formula”.

Way that I would like to make the formula works:
Looking to the column result if the result is YES or NO. Note that there is no other option.
The result in the column “Result from the formula” should be based in the data in columns “Account” and “State”.

Available Options:
  • The result for all the accounts of a certain category is ‘NO” in column “State”: In this case the formula should bring “NO” in all the respective accounts (e.g. case of account 12.04)
  • The result for an account with the less possible digits (5 including the “.”) is ‘YES” in column “State”: In this case the formula should bring “YES” in all the other accounts with the same beginning but more digits (e.g. case of account 12.06)
  • All the accounts of one level (e.g. accounts 30.01.00.00.00 and 30.01.00.00.99) have the same state “YES”. In this case the accounts with smaller details (e.g. 30.01.00.00, 30.01.00 and 30.01) should be filled with “YES”.

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.
