Hi guys it’s me again:)
I have vlookup's for several different scenarios , i would like the vlookup to look at a cell to see if there is a 2, or 3, or 4 etc in it, and then to look at the vlookup that corresponds with the right one.
Any ideas ??:confused:
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>
Cheers

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.

Would you provide a very small example of what you mean?

Ok what i am doing is a sheet that has 6 different tasks on it B1:B6 so if someone does 2 tasks then i have a v lookup for 2 tasks completed and gives a result, but if they do 4 tasks then i have a vlookup for 4 tasks completed , and so on . now what i am after is say in cell A1 i put the number of tasks they do , Say 2 then the vlookup will look at A1 then go to the other vlookup to see what result they should get for completing 2 tasks
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>
Hope that makes sense :confused:

I was thinking of using like an IF(A1=2,vlookup($D$1:$E$6),IF(A1=3,vlookup($F$1:G$6)...etc etc ?? not sure how to put it down thu :confused:

Perhaps you could provide more information about how your data and the lookup value is setup.

Nevertehless, here is a guess:

A1 = Number of tasks

B1 has formula:

=VLOOKUP(A1,CHOOSE(A1,D1:E6,F1:G6,H1:I6,J1:K6,L1:M6,N1:O6),2)

The six lookup tables are in the ranges:

D1:E6,F1:G6,H1:I6,J1:K6,L1:M6,N1:O6

Here is a picutre of the rsults:

The above table is looking at the lookup table: F1:G6



If I change the number of tasks to 4 I would get:
