Hi -

I have a column with stock numbers (1 or 2 letters with 5 digits following). I need to them to match with the correct store in another column - The store is determined by the first 1 or 2 letters (ex - KU12345 would match Jones Kia and B67890 would match Bloom Chevrolet . Also, some of the store names are not listed.

Would if then statements be the best choice? If so, what's the formula?

Thanks,
Zach
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
it looks like Merge option but without representative example data of source and expected result it's hard to say something more
