Title: Excel Help
Post by: Graham C on June 16, 2017, 12:37:30 PM
Howdy,

I've cocked up in a spreadsheet and could use some help if possible.  It's a combination of two spreadsheets and was all going well until I deleted some rows in this one making all the values I hadn't copied over a few rows out.

In column H I need to put a sale price.  It needs to get the product code from column A, look it up in column N and return the price in column O, is this possible?   The prices look right on this screenshot but further down they're out hence the need for a lookup of some sort.
 
I also need it as a number rather than a formula as I want to upload it as a csv so I guess I should make a new column to return the values then copy and paste values only?

Hope that makes sense

Thank you :)  I'm not very good at Excel!

you can use VLookup in the first square that doesn't have a value, then drag this formula down (bottom right corner little box when you hover over the square use the +) to the rest of the squares you want to fill.

then as you say use a copy paste as values to provide the numbers not the forumla to export.


more info and a step by step guide that seems simple enough to understand here -

edit im confused column A seems the same as column N does this change further down?



edit 2 so currently H 1 = O 1, H 2=O 2 H 3=O 3 etc




edit 3 ok so yeh you acknowledge that, so my original answer stands.

In H2 try

=VLOOKUP(A2, N:O, 2, 0)

If that works, drag it down and if that all looks good, copy and paste values over the top to get rid of the formula once it's done its job.
