Hello,

So I have a group of text values for Sizes like twins, Small, Medium, Large etc. in a sheet and I'm assigning values to those sizes. I'm using the formula as below and it always gives me error. Please help. Here is the formula I'm trying to use,
Code:
=LOOKUP('Prepaid Customer'!Y2,{"Twins", Small,Medium,Large,X-Large,2XL,3XL,Singleton},{8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1})

Here, 'Prepaid Customer'!Y2' cell contains formula to calculate Sizes

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Data must be alphabetically ordered from A-Z

Try this:


=LOOKUP('Prepaid Customer'!Y2,{"2XL","3XL","Large","Medium","Singleton","Small","Twins","X-Large"},{3,2,5,6,1,7,8,4})

Thanks for your help. It doesn't seem to work. So these are the values that I need to assign,

Twins - 1
Small - 2
Medium - 3
Large - 4
X-Large - 5
2XL - 6
3XL - 7
Singleton - 8

Data must be alphabetically ordered from A-Z

Try this:


=LOOKUP('Prepaid Customer'!Y2,{"2XL","3XL","Large","Medium","Singleton","Small","Twins","X-Large"},{3,2,5,6,1,7,8,4})
