    Search a range Last Names for age & return the value to a List of FULL NAMES

    Matching Age.xlsx

    Can not do an exact look up since one list has full names and 2nd list has just last names. Looking for a formula that finds the ages of students from a list of last names & ages (Column A & B) & returns the age value to a separate student list that has their full names & missing ages (Column D & E).

    Example:
    • D2 says Bob Evans. I want Cell E2 to Search through Column A and find a matching last name to what is in D2 (Evans that's in A8), then return to E2 the age value that is in Column B (the result should be 11 that is in B8).
    • The names and ages in Column A,B & C change often but the names are always unique.
    • If the is no match I want to return a value of 0 (There is no Smith in list of Last names in Column A so E6 should return value of zero (0).


    I've been trying all day

    LOL


    Easy do,

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.
