Excel 2007. I have two spreadsheets that I am trying to cross reference. Both spreadsheets contain patient names, but only one spreadsheet contains ID numbers associated with each patient. I am trying to take those ID numbers from the first spreadsheet and search for their respective names in the second sheet, and then match the ID numbers to each name on the second spreadsheet.

Here is what I have tried so far, but I am not getting any positive results:

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A4, Master!$A$1:$G$1000,1, FALSE)), "Master!", VLOOKUP($A4, Master!$A$1:$G$1000,1, FALSE))

but this only yields "Master!" for each cell.

Anyone have any ideas? :confused:

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.
