So I have a doozy of a question.

I have 2 tables.
Table 1: contains a list "Sites=siteID" on each row. Columns contain "Device Name" 1-30
Table 2: contains "SiteID", "Device Name" SiteID is over multiple rows

See examples
Table 1:
Site IDDevice Name 001Device Name 002Device Name 003
7412LAP7412001LAP7412002LAP7412003
9632LAP9632001LAP9632002LAP9632003

Table 2:
7412LAP7412001
7412LAP7412002
7412LAP7412003
9632LAP9632001
9632LAP9632002
9632LAP9632003

Now what I would like to do is match / vlookup the data in table 2 and update table 1 column Device Name.
In my head it would be something like:
lookup 7412 if device name = 7412001 add it column 001
lookup 7412 if device name = 7412002 add it column 002
And so on and so on.

first issue is vlookup wont look past the first siteID on table 2. Table is not a large export and can be formatting another way to make is easier to look up.
I guess the real question is how can I tell excel if the siteid matches and the device id ends in 001/2/3 add to the relevant columns

This isn't a simple transpose will fix situation :)

Any help would be appreciate

Thanks
 
can we adjust the formula to lookup the first say 1200 rows opposed to the entire column?

The formula you posted as your "final formula" in post#9 already used a limited number of rows, but either way, just try it and see if it helps.

Excel Facts

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.
=IF(J$2="","",INDEX(FILTER('Store Scope STS'!$B:$B,('Store Scope STS'!$A:$A=$A46)*(RIGHT('Store Scope STS'!$B:$B,LEN(J$2))=J$2),"Not in Scope"),1))

Is the above looking in the entire column A?
i was thinking $A1:$A1200
would that only look at the the 1200 rows

Just add the rows to the ranges for example.. $B$1:$B$1200

do i do that across all the the formulas?

=IF(J$2="","",INDEX(FILTER('Store Scope STS'!$B$1:$B$1200,('Store Scope STS'!$A$1:$A$1200=$A46)*(RIGHT('Store Scope STS'!$B$1:$B$1200,LEN(J$2))=J$2),"Not in Scope"),1))

Like the above?

Yes, that looks ok to me. What happened when you tried it?
