Hi,

I am trying to work out a formula without much luck so wondered if anyone could help please?

Basically, I have 2 work books one (request data) to feed from and another (request M.I) to report weekly. They are both in different folders.

So in Request Data I have -

Column A Column B
01.01.2012 170
02.01.2012 120
03.01.2012 132
etc


In a cell in the "Request M.I" workbook I would like to say, look in column A in the workbook "Request Data" find a specific date (which will be in a cell in Request M.I sheet- for instance C4) and report back the number in column b.

The If function won't seem to work with the range add I think it adds them all up.

I hope this makes sense. Any help would be very much appreciated!

;)
