Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?

Do you want to look for the values in column A in column F and return a value, if there is a match, from column G?

Try:

=VLOOKUP("*"&RIGHT(A3,4),$F$3:$G$12&"",2,0)
with Control+Shift+Enter.

Or:

=LOOKUP(2^15,FIND(RIGHT(A3,4),$F$3:$F$12),$G$3:$G$12)

if you don't want to use Control+Shift+Enter. Put IFERROR around either one if you don't want to see #N/A for no matches.

If entered correctly, Excel will insert the {}[/TD]

Thanks for your reply and help. When lookup range is blank formula return the value.

Please look at column A15 is blank but both formula return is K16

How to resolve the issue?

Sorry, I missed that in your image.

=IF(A3="","",IFERROR("K"&LEFT(VLOOKUP("*"&RIGHT(A3,4),$F$3:$G$12&"",2,0),2),"")) (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

=IF(A3="","",IFERROR("K"&LEFT(LOOKUP(2^15,FIND(RIGHT(A3,4),$F$3:$F$12),$G$3:$G$12),2),""))


BTW, best not to fully quote long posts as it makes the thread harder to read/navigate and just occupies storage space needlessly. If you want to quote, quote small, relevant parts only.
