    Question completing ship to dates based on customers name and table of values

    I have attached a copy of my workbook. I am trying to determine ship dates for my customer based on the customers name (this has been changed to A,B,C, etc for privacy) and the order dated. I have approx 150 customers, but only 15 have a specific date and all others are 7. Could you recommend a formula? I thought an 'if' formula would be too lengthy.

    Thanks for your input!

    Re: completing ship to dates based on customers name

    If you capitalize the word "days" in Q10, then you can use:

    =I3+SUBSTITUTE(VLOOKUP(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(H3,$P$3:$P$10,0)),H3,"All Others"),$P$3:$Q$10,2,0),"Days","")

    copied down.

    Even better, just leave numbers in column Q to represent number of days and use:

    =I3+VLOOKUP(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(H3,$P$3:$P$10,0)),H3,"All Others"),$P$3:$Q$10,2,0)
