I run a fantasy hockey league and need to be able to use lookup to find only an exact match to a name. Currently I have to use a switch of some sort so that it doesn't return stats of a name thats close if the name I want to match isn't there.
Something like this to return Goals scored for a particular player:
=IF(($C5="A"),LOOKUP($A5,'Current Stats'!$A$1:$A$1000,'Current Stats'!$$D$1:$D$1000)," ")
Typing an "A" into the cells in column C is the manual switch I use, once I know a player is on the list, but there must be a way to only return an exact match and not something that's close to the lookup criteria.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
