Thanks for the help. I know I'll fully understand the formula structure
soon. One question, at end of formula ,4,0 what in fact does the 4 make
reference to?

In the formul In sheet 2 $A$1:$b$10makes reference to two adjacent

columns.
If there is a column between so there is data in a and c and none in b the
result return err,the formula in this cell referes to cells that are
currently emply. How to get around this. ie" if sheet two has data in

column
a and column d.

I've used the following formula =vlookup(b4,sheet3!$c$1:$m$31,11,0) The
correct data is transfered to the first cell in the column all other cells
receive #N/A a value is not available to the formula or function. There is
however data to be transfered.Any help appreciated

Well, Excel isn't seeing a match. For one of the formulas that you expect to
return a value, what is in column B, and what is the matching data in column C
or your table on Sheet3? Could the problem be that you have numbers in one
place and text that looks like a number (but is stored as text) in the other?
If so, they won't match, e.g. 1 doesn't match "1"

Ihave tried to copy data from USA Today report. When I past to excel
worksheet all cells are obliterated. Does this account for the data not
being recognized. If so is there anything that can be done to make this data
useable??

Thanks for all the help and information

George,

The 4 is the third parameter of the VLOOKUP function, and tells it to
retrieve the cell in the 4th column of the range being looked up in. Did I
say being looked up in? Oh, well.

I keep saying thanks, your help is outstanding. I would like to ask two
additional questions. ie: When I enter my formula into the cells of column A
in a number of cells it returns a value in a few it returns#N/A. There is
no data in those cases but with the #n?A when I try to add the columns will
not do so as it cant enter a non digit. I'm using 0 for the last number in
my formula. How best to get around this.

Also I've copied a table from USA internet. In pasting to worksheet all the
cells are obliterated and nothing is recognized by excel. The data is
however recognized in (pardon me) lotus. Is there anyway of having my
vlookup formula search 123 in place of a sheet in excel. =vlookup(a1,
sheet2!$A$1:$j$31, 10,0). Hope these questions make sense to someone

First question:

Replace error message with a null ( "" ), which can then be added:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,'Sheet2'!$A$1:$A$10,0)),"",VLOOK UP(A1,
'Sheet2'!$A$1:$D$10, 4, 0)

Thank you,
Your corrected formula works well with one lasting problem. If I remove
the data that was used for the search all the results of the search are wiped
out. I tried to remove the data to use new data for new search. Can
anything be done to correct this situation???

make
reference to?

Thanks for the help. One further question.
In the formul In sheet 2 $A$1:$b$10makes reference to two

adjacent
columns.
If there is a column between so there is data in a and c and none

in
b
the
result return err,the formula in this cell referes to cells that

are
currently emply. How to get around this. ie" if sheet two has

data
in
column
a and column d.

thanks

George,

In B1 of sheet 1:
=VLOOKUP(A1, 'Sheet2'!$A$1:$B$10, 2, FALSE)

Copy down with fill handle to B10.

Trying to create a formula to do the following:
Sheet 1 column A a list of personal names a1-a10

Sheet 2 has list of names a1-a10 and list of dollar amounts
colums
d1-d10

want to search sheet one and if any name from sheet 2 found

on
sheet 1
than
the corresponding dollar amount is entered.

Any help appreciated.
