Combine Vlookup and LEFT - Help Please!

[gtbb]

LEFT(C4,3)
VLOOKUP(C4,C4:D38,2,FALSE)

VLOOKUP(LEFT(C4,3),C4:E38,2,FALSE)

I combined the first two formulas into one (the third one) but it is not working. I get an N/A result. Could someone help me please.

Thanks so much!

That should work fine. Are you sure that there the value is actually there to look up? Can you post your table?

 

[Willem!]

try:

=VLOOKUP(LEFT(C4;3);D4:E38;1;FALSE)

(replace ";" by "," in your version..)

Is 'Name' column 1? and 'CODE' column 2?

Did you notice that none of the values in column 2 equals a possible outcome of your LEFT() string?

What are you trying to accomplish?

Sorry!!! "Tran" is the first column (column A). Name is column 2 and Code is column 3

Hello gtbb.

I was about to pose the exact same questions as Willem.

When you perform your LEFT() function, you are taking the first three characters from the 'Name' column and comparing it with all the values in the 'Code' column. There are no exact matches, hence you are getting the #N/A result.

Please clarify what you are after.

EDIT: Sorry, I just saw that you specified where the data is supposed to be. In your case, you are taking the first three characters in Column C ('CODE'), but I do not know which column you want to lookup these characters in? Also, what value do you want to return?

Can you please provide an example of the expected result?

The below image is the final result that I am looking for. Basically, when I enter the code ADM, the below cell will populate number 11 for me. The LEFT formula is to enter only three characters instead of the entire code. Thanks for your patience!!!

Hmm.... getting a bit confused (where is my coffee!! )... but I have a simple alternative, use a DGET-function:

=DGET(C4:E38;"Number";B1:B2)

B1 = cell with word 'CODE' (just the letters "code")
B2 = cell with code (in your example 'ADM')

The function searches in the database field (C4:E38) a value in column "Number" where the code in column CODE is equal to the value of cell B2

HTH
