Hi,

Below is part of a table that I am trying to move data around on but really struggling as you can tell from this post lol. the Red text explains what I am trying to do.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Gareth














I need this column (B) to stay in the same format as it is now, but need to match the name from this column (A) to the name in Column D and put the name from column C at the beginning of Column B's name like the example below which has the Column C name at the start of the Column B name.

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Thanks for getting back to me.

It is but there is a twist with this one always!!

The column C is not in any type of order, so I need to lookup the name in column A in the column C list, and then pull out the name from column B and insert in the beginning of column A.

So I lookup up OLD TOWN (Name from column A) in the column C's list, then I need to copy the corresponding name in column B (in this case SCIL P6) and add to the beginning of column A to make: SCIL P6 OLD TOWN N49 54.791 W6 17.962 (29U693882 5532475). The column A list as to stay in the same format in regards to the layout.

Hi You are puzzled trying to find the solution and I am puzzled trying to find the question.
It seems to me to be a relatively easy =INDEX MATCH solution. Your first posting includes column D, but no mention later. Please be clear about what data is in each column and what column you want the solution

If the cell in column A has OLD TOWN N49 54.791 W6 17.962 (29U693882 5532475) as text and you want it to show SCIL P6 OLD TOWN N49 54.791 W6 17.962 (29U693882 5532475) then you will need a vba solution. If the cell in A has a formula that returns OLD TOWN N49 54.791 W6 17.962 (29U693882 5532475). then you can have a formula solution by modifying the existing formula
