Hello all,
Please forgive me if I don't explain properly
Using vlookup from another spreadsheet
I select from the table array as below and select column C as result

However, there are in some instances there is a part number in column B
Therefore, can it be possible to ignore Column A as first left column and choose Column B whenever there is a part number present

A B C
Group Part Number Discount
1 P302 15
2 P311 40
3 P179 25
4 P179 12345 57.62

Hoping this can be answered and thankyou in advance
 
Are all your numbers (including 12345) text?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
