Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce

The materials are the same part number but the method of them being placed is what is uniquie. One is being placed in air (26,174) and the other is pulled in duct which is buried (508'). The Code (column B) is the uniquie idenifier but I had to create colume C to make it turly uniqie as the job will have many task. I did find out using: =XLOOKUP(A891&"-500",C:C,J:J,"",0) gave me the outcome I desired and for the UG portion I changed the 500 to 415

I guess that logic makes sense to you.
Afraid I'll have to pass on this.

Good luck with your project.
