VLOOKUP - search only last digits?

[Cat3TRD]

Hi,

I'm trying to have VLOOKUP only search the last digits of a number.

The number I'm searching for is 10 digits long, and the numbers I'm searching through are 11 or greater. The last 10 digits will always match, but the first digits are not always relevant.

Is this possible?

Example:

Sheet 1
A1 has 1234567890 (10 digits)
B1 I want to have the 5 digit number from Sheet 2

Sheet 2
A1 has 01234567890
B1 has 12345


Because of that "0" at the beginning (which can be any number at all, just using "0" as an example) VLOOKUP won't return anything.

Thanks!

I'm not certain that I have your setup clear, but would something like this work for you - without the helper column?

=VLOOKUP("*"&A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$100000,2,0)
