vlook up help

[Tonyk1051]

is there a way to customize the vlook up so that when I use it ,not only only does it populate based on keysheet but
If the same user, on the same date, uses the same action type on the same vendor, they all get the number 0 in column H instead except for the line that has the earliest date. that number remains the same. See the drop box link for workbook of how it should look manually. if not a vlook up then a different formula maybe?

No it doesn’t work as intended, some cells have a 5 where it should be 0 and all the criteria has been met…

 

[etaf]

[Tonyk1051]

i cannot read that - sorry

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone
