    Talking Beyond VLOOKUP

    I have a table array ,sorted by member’s last name, against which I use the VLOOKUP worksheet function to locate the name of an individual and return another piece of data in the array relevant to that individual..
    Is there some way that I can check to see if the next name in the array is the same as the one indicated in my VLOOKUP function?

    RE: Beyond VLOOKUP

    I am not sure what you are asking, but if it is how are you sure it is an
    exact match, add a ,False as the last step in the Vlookup function. It will
    give you an error if there is not an exact match.

    Is the next name in the next row or the next column?

    Have you tried experimenting with Pivot Tables?
    A Pivot Table would group the details by name. The key is to pick any one of the fields for the Data section and set it to "Count Of"

    Exampel: In the Pivot Table setup layout section:
    Row: Name, Product, Qty, Discount
    Data: Count of Product

    Would that help?

    RE: Beyond VLOOKUP

    I am not sure what you are asking, but if it is how are you sure it is an
    exact match, add a ,False as the last step in the Vlookup function. It will
    give you an error if there is not an exact match.
