possibly VLOOKUP?

[droo09]

Hi, so I have 2 data sets of practically the same thing, but both have different formats. I need to match ID to the corresponding account, but the spreadsheet I need to add the ID's to includes the date. Here is what I'm talking about:


This is the info I have:

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 359pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=477 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 203pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 9874" width=270><COL style="WIDTH: 34pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1645" width=45><COL style="WIDTH: 122pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5924" width=162><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 18pt; mso-height-source: userset" height=24><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 203pt; HEIGHT: 18pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl25 height=24 width=270>ACCOUNT NAME</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 34pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl28 width=45>ID</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 122pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl28 width=162>LOCATION</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND: silver; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; mso-ignore: style; mso-pattern: #CCCCFF none" class=xl29 height=17>99 CENT ONLY STORE</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND: silver; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; mso-ignore: style; mso-pattern: auto none" class=xl26>AC</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND: silver; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 2pt double; mso-ignore: style; mso-pattern: #CCCCFF none" class=xl30>CITY OF COMMERCE, CA</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl31 height=17>A & C STONE, INC.</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl27>CH</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 2pt double" class=xl32>RHOME, TX</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>


I need to add a column to the spreadsheet below with the ID from above. So since the '99 CENT ONLY STORE" ID is "AC", each row of the "99 CENT ONLY STORE" needs to have that ID in the seperate column.

There is 1500+ rows, so as you can imagine, doing it by hand is out of the question. Any suggestions?

What are the names of the sheets? And are they in the same workbook?


Vlookup does exactly what you need

and which columns and rows mark the beginning and end of the first table? Ex. A2:C3?


Assuming that Table 1 and Table 2 are both started at A1, type this in c1 of Table 2--->




=vlookup(b1, SheetName!$a$2:$c$3, 2, false)

Thank for the reply. I just tried what you posted, but I am getting an error. "Sheet1" has column A=accounts and column B=ID. Sheet2 has column A=date and column B=accounts. I tried the formula in sheet2 in column c, but no avail.
