Okay, so what I'm trying to do is something similar to a v-look up, except I want to search by a column name.
For instance:
I have Excel file 1 with only two column names, "Fruits" in A1 and, "Vegetables" in D1. So it looks like:
<tbody>
</tbody>
Vegetables
In Excel file 2 I have again two column names (however there could be other names depending on the workbook) of, "Vegetables" in A1 and "Fruits" in F1. In this file I have items listed under vegetables and fruits. So it looks like:
<tbody>
</tbody>
Now, what I would like to be able to do is something like search the column name, "Fruits" and have it return the columns values that go under the header in File 2 to show in File 1. So essentially it is matching the column header names, then returning the column on where it located the name. Is this possible?
I appreciate the help.
