So I have 2 databases that I need to use to look up position titles for cellphone useage and am trying to figure out how look up a last name and if true proceed on to look up a first name and then return a value. To illustrate I have the following table to show employees who have cell phones:


<TABLE style="WIDTH: 446pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=594 border=0 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 108pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5266" width=144><COL style="WIDTH: 76pt;

My question is how do I do a vlookup with the lookup value of the last and first name on the first table, and a table array of the second table with a return value of column 3.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Its dirty, but couldn't you just concatenate lastname and firstname in both tables and just do Vlookups from the concatenated fields?
