I have a massive Access DB that I run several queries out of and paste into an Excel summary page for sharing daily. I am looking into automating it a bit further because my data can be very volatile...for example yesterday, I had a query that returned the following data:

uploading images

but today the query doesn't have any information for Pilot and Unknown, or Wave 7 and 4.0.439, etc.

image upload no size limit

Copying and pasting is too cumbersome as I have about 15 tables that I update daily and often make errors in getting the right information in the right place.

What I would like to do is paste the raw query data from the second photo into a new sheet and create a formula for column c in the first image that automatically pulls the data into it from the new sheet based on the Wave and Version number.

I have tried a few different things, including a substitute, replace, and vlookup but can't figure out what's wrong with the formulas. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
A simple non-VBA solution, would be to import the query into the appropriate Excel worksheet.

On the Ribbon--->Data--->GetExternalData-->FromAccess

Then follow the wizard to find you database and particular queries to import. Quick and easy.

Thanks for the option, but getting the data into excel daily isn't an issue. I have to summarize the data in the format of the first screenshot, which is where the problem arises, using the import option only gets the data into a new sheet but wouldn't get the data into the summary table(s).
