Hello, I have a file on my computer that contains a lot of pdf.
Each pdf is called by the name of a person, then a month, then a year.
I have an excel table that has in colomne first name, name, month, year, then pdf.
I would like to write the name of a person, one year, one month, that a link to his pdf file is automatically displayed in the next celule.
I don’t know how to code.
Thanks to everyone who will help me

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Hi Danbitton,

I didn't understand exactly what you need, but this may help?
